So the AI boom of the last 12 years was made possible by three visionaries:
One was Geoffrey Hinton, a University of Toronto computer scientist who spent decades promoting neural networks despite near-universal skepticism.
The second was Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, who recognized early that GPUs could be useful for more than just graphics.
The third was Fei-Fei Li. She created an image dataset that seemed ludicrously large to most of her colleagues. But it turned out to be essential for demonstrating the potential of neural networks trained on GPUs

Genau meine Topic: turing completeness, wo man sie nicht erwartete. Incredible!

"Computer CPU's ( Central Processing Units ) are a form of pseudo-intelligence. They are not however, programmed with any sort of judgment calls as to the nature of their instructions. Their instructions being the source code which instructs their operating. The very blue prints of their silicon pseudo-life resides within what the CPU is being told to compute, and how to operate. This makes computers very vulnerable. They literally do what they are told. Antivirus software is basically instructions which detects other malicious instructions. They can however flag clean software as positive for malware, and malware as clean and safe"
