The New York Times headlined: "When A.I. Matures, It May Call Jürgen Schmidhuber 'Dad'.” In 1990-91, he laid foundations of "Generative AI," by introducing the principles of Generative Adversarial Networks (now used for deepfakes), unnormalised linear Transformers (see the T in ChatGPT), and self-supervised Pre-Training (see the P in ChatGPT). This early work on the "G", "P" and "T" in GPT has had a wide-ranging impact, and earned him the nickname "Father of Generative AI." His lab also produced LSTM, the most cited AI of the 20th century, and the Highway Net (a variant of which is the most cited AI of the 21st century). His formal theory of creativity & curiosity & fun explains art, science, music, and humor. Elon Musk tweeted: "Schmidhuber invented everything." His AI is on over 3 billion smartphones, and used many billions of times per day.
Moreover, Prof. Schmidhuber holds several key positions, including Co-Chair of the KAUST Center of Generative AI and Scientific Director of the Swiss AI Lab IDSIA. Additionally, he is the Co-Founder and former President of NNAISENSE, as well as a Board Member of Delvitech.
