      Author

      Book author of "Cognizers--Neural Networks and Machines that Think" which heralds a new breed of brain-like cognitive computers—cognizers—which harness artificial neural networks to understand natural language, reason and exert muscular-like control over our world. Future cognizers will be based on brain-like microchips—instead of cloud computers like Apple's Siri or supercomputers like IBM's Watson—enabling cognizers to migrate to stand-alone chips inside our smartphones and other personal electronics, ushering in new era of smart personal assistants that understand our needs and which can act as autonomous surrogates.
