Yesterday Marvin Minsky, "the founding father of AI” as well as of our lab, passed away at the age of 88. Minsky "combined a scientist’s thirst for knowledge with a philosopher’s quest for truth as a pioneering explorer of artificial intelligence," writes the New York Times. His work "helped inspire the PC and the Internet," as well as countless advances in robotics and computer science. He also co-founded MIT’s AI Lab in 1959, which later became CSAIL in 2003: "He mentored many members of our community and inspired countless students to devote their lives to computing," says CSAIL Director Daniela Rus and EECS Department Head Anantha Chandrakasan. "Our hearts go out to the Minsky family, as well as the many friends and colleagues who were privileged enough to know Marvin and be part of his world."
