Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the new normal which is rapidly advancing the technology sector and has also significantly impacted the key aspects of businesses.
In this article, we list down AI’s power players who are also thought leaders in the area of machine learning (ML), deep learning, computer vision, and robotics and also have a massive following on their Twitter accounts. These AI giants includes industry experts, product innovators, and researchers who bring the latest insights and popular AI trends to their followers.
Here are top twitter accounts that will help you keep a track of all exciting AI updates:
Hardmaru
David Ha, a Google researcher and one of the authors of the NeurIPS paper "Weight Agnostic Neural Networks".
Judea Pearl
Judea Pearl is a chancellor, philosopher, and a professor of computer science and statistics at UCLA, and also a distinguished visiting professor at the Technion — Israel Institute of Technology.
Pearl has authored numerous scientific papers and three seminal books — Heuristics (1983), Probabilistic Reasoning (1988), and Causality (2000, 2009). In a recent book, "The Book of Why" (2018, with Dana Mackenzie) Pearl explains the concept of cause and effect, which is a grand taboo in science and has been algorithmitized to serve in the interpretation of data.
In 2012, he won the Technion's Harvey Prize and the ACM Alan Turing Award for the development of a calculus for probabilistic and causal reasoning.
