SchmidhuberAI · x · 2026-08-27

Jürgen Schmidhuber updated his blog post to reiterate that dominant modern AI technologies, including LSTM, Transformers, pre-training, and GANs, originated from his lab's early work. He lists the top five most-cited AI networks and links them to his research, asserting that current Generative AI (like ChatGPT) builds on foundations laid during his lab's "Annus Mirabilis" in 1990-1991, specifically noting that the top three most-cited 21st-century AI papers directly utilize techniques published by his team.
