Schmidhuber revisits history: 1971 deep network modeled the British economy
SchmidhuberAI · x · 2026-09-20
Schmidhuber's account reposts a historical nugget: in 1971, deep learning pioneer Ivakhnenko modeled the British economy with an 8-layer deep network, calling the field "Cybernetics" rather than "AI." His new survey (arXiv:2212.11279) credits the pioneers of deep learning and modern AI, supplementing his award-winning 2015 deep learning survey.
