Get the A.I. Pioneers Field Guide

Who actually built artificial intelligence? This is the honest, fact-checked answer the video is based on — every leader on one clean reference, so you finally know who is who. Inside the 8-page field guide: THE TOP 10 (10 to 1), each with the single breakthrough that earned their place, their current role, and their career span — Geoffrey Hinton, the Godfather of Deep Learning who popularized backpropagation, built AlexNet, and won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics; John McCarthy, who literally coined the term 'artificial intelligence' and ran the 1956 Dartmouth workshop that founded the field; Yann LeCun, inventor of the convolutional neural network; Yoshua Bengio, the third Turing-Award godfather the famous poster left off; Demis Hassabis, whose AlphaFold solved protein folding and won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry; Ilya Sutskever, the technical mind behind GPT; Fei-Fei Li, who built ImageNet and lit the spark; Jensen Huang, whose NVIDIA GPUs every model runs on; Sam Altman, who put A.I. in a billion hands with ChatGPT; and Dario Amodei, who turned scaling laws into a law. PLUS the honorable mentions a list of ten can't hold — Andrew Ng, Andrej Karpathy, and the eight authors of 'Attention Is All You Need,' the Transformer paper behind every modern A.I. AND a clean 70-year timeline from McCarthy naming the field in 1956 to A.I. winning two Nobel Prizes in 2024 — with the one lesson hiding inside it. Every claim verified against NobelPrize.org, the ACM Turing Award, the original Transformer paper (arXiv:1706.03762), and official sources, June 2026. Mobile-friendly PDF, free.
