From the infamous HAL in “2001: A Space Odyssey” to the brilliant but sometimes awkward Data in “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” examples of artificial intelligence can be seen throughout sci-fi. However, artificial intelligence is not just the stuff of science fiction anymore. Modern technology is learning how to think, and learning how to learn on its own. Here’s your chance to learn all about artificial intelligence, neural networks and machine learning from the top experts in the field, because we’ve compiled a list of the most influential voices who are talking about it on Twitter.
Why this list? Well, it’s based on Twitter data culled according to content, follower/following ratios, frequency of tweets, blog popularity, the opinions of other analytics experts and our own subjective judgment.
One note: Some influential voices are not included, either because they don’t have active Twitter accounts, or they only tweet about artificial intelligence sporadically. Here, our goal is to provide the best possible stream of artificial intelligence news and insight.
