Anima Anandkumar
Description: Professor at the California Institute of Technology (USA), her research focuses on tensor algebra, deep learning and non-convex problems. She is research director in machine learning at the designer of computer components Nvidia. She has obtained numerous scientific prizes and awards for her work. At the end of 2020, it was the subject of a heated controversy. She posted a list of people she blocked on Twitter as a list that her followers and the AI / diversity / inclusiveness communities must harass to try to "change their perspective." She also clarified in a subsequent tweet that if these people cannot be convinced, they should be deleted. She also seeks to purge those with non-progressive views from the press as well as academia, even outside of the AI space. His initiative is particularly focused on the pursuit of Pedro Domingos, a professor who is also the author of the bestseller "Master Algorithm". Anima has since apologized, aware of the collateral damage impacting many people following the publication of this list, and has permanently closed her tweeter account. -
Willy Angole
Description: Founder of CafiaC, Willy Angole is an independent NLP researcher who understands the value of in-depth language analysis very well. At the dawn of his career, he was an electronic payment expert for a French bank before going to acquire knowledge in Silicon Valley in the 2010s. For the past 10 years Willy has been operating for the European Electricity Exchange as an expert in auction systems, market coupling systems, and optimization systems that determine the price of electricity for different European markets, optimizing thus flows at the borders. A pupil of Andrew Ng of Stanford University and MIT professor Thomas W. Malone, Willy is the creator of an AI that searches, measures, repositories and ranks expert Twitter users in AI based on their online engagement in the field and of their popularity within the AI community. A facilitator technology, it supports companies in integrating AI into their business strategy. He thinks it makes no sense to try to create autonomous AGI-type intelligent systems if the community of experts and AI creators cannot reach consensus on the fundamental definition of Artificial Intelligence. -
Yan GoodFellow
Description: Inventor of adversarial neural networks, better known under the name of GAN, Yan has made major contributions in the field of Deep Learning. The quality of the deep fake tools now available to the general public would be nothing without his contribution. A former Google employee, he now sells his services to Apple. -
Fei Fei Li
Description: Fei Fei Li works in the fields of computer vision and cognitive science. She has built smart algorithms that allow robots to see and think. She is chief scientist at google cloud and co-founded AI4ALL an organization to attract more minorities in the field of artificial intelligence. -
Rana el Kaliouby
Description: Rana is an Egyptian-American computer scientist and entrepreneur, also a researcher in the field of facial expression recognition using new technologies. She is interested in facial recognition of emotions, going beyond the limits of exaggerated or caricatured expressions modeled in the laboratory, to focus on the subtle looks from real situations. Rana is the co-founder of Affectiva an AI company specializing in apps that sense and understand emotions. -
Jeef Dean
Description: Jeef has been a cornerstone of Google since the 2000s, Jeff participated in the implementation of the most strategic systems of the American giant, particularly in the fields of search engines and advertising; or machine translation. He is one of the founding fathers of TensorFlow, which is currently the most popular development framework for Artificial Intelligence. -
Judea Pearl
Description: Judea Pearl is a computer scientist researcher at the Cognitive System laboratory. His work on Bayesian networks, probabilistic analysis in artificial intelligence and the notion of causality won him the Turing Prize in 2011. His work, "the book of why", makes the most complex principles accessible to as many people as possible. He is very present on social networks being one of the most fervent defenders of the symbolic approach of AI. -
