Jürgen Schmidhuber pioneered meta-learning, recursive self-improvement, and world models back in the 1990s, when compute was a million times more expensive. He has been thinking about machines that improve themselves since before compute was cheap enough to make it practical.

日経新聞による、グーグルディープマインド東京を率いる全炳河(Heiga Zen)氏の素晴らしい特集記事。2018年、Heigaさんと2人でGoogle Brain東京チームを立ち上げた日々を懐かしく思います。当時は時差の厳しい深夜の会議をこなしながら、日本のAI研究の存在感を示すために必死でした。現在、彼がGDM Tokyoを率い、私が Sakana AI を起業して、東京のAIエコシステムがここまで大きく成長したことを本当に嬉しく思います!
