You're also forgetting neural networks, which power alot of AI today. They were invented by yann lecun at bell labs, his manager was Rich Howard, who was involved with WINLAB at Rutgers.

Then there's also Thomas Edison and all the advancements his company made.

I worked with Yann in Bell Labs, back in the day. He may have invented convolutional neural networks -- he's cited as a 'founding father' of them. Neural networks in general pre-date him a bit.

Edit: Don't get me wrong. Yann's work in that field was huge and he's a big deal at Meta now.

Yup thanks for correcting me.

Also that's pretty cool you used to work with him.
