Yoshua Bengio is considered one of the three fathers, along with Geoffrey Hinton (Toronto) and Yann LeCun (NYC), of an advanced subset of AI and machine learning called deep learning
"Magenta is a Google Brain project to ask and answer the questions, "Can we use machine learning to create compelling art and music? If so, how? If not, why not?" Our work is done in TensorFlow, and we regularly release our models and tools in open source. These are accompanied by demos, tutorial blog postings and technical papers. To follow our progress, watch our GitHub and join our discussion group."
"OpenAI is a non-profit artificial intelligence research company. Our goal is to advance digital intelligence in the way that is most likely to benefit humanity as a whole, unconstrained by a need to generate financial return."
"AMI is a program that brings together artists and engineers to realize projects using Machine Intelligence. Works are developed together alongside artists' current practices and shown at galleries, biennials, festivals, or online. By creating a platform for this emerging form of art-making, we hope to open both our research and the public conversation to new ways of thinking about intelligent systems."
"We've created a bot which beats the world's top professionals at 1v1 matches of Dota 2 under standard tournament rules. The bot learned the game from scratch by self-play, and does not use imitation learning or tree search. This is a step towards building AI systems which accomplish well-defined goals in messy, complicated situations involving real humans."
"Our long-term goal is to democratize AI. We want to level the playing field for startups to ensure that innovation doesn't get locked up in large companies like Google or Facebook. If you're starting an AI company, we want to help you succeed. Apply here and mention this post in your application."
