Biography:Norbert Wiener was originally a child prodigy, later known for his work as a mathematician and as the founder of cybernetics—a term derived from the Greek word for ‘steersman.’
Cybernetics is the science of communication and control, whether in living things or machines. His particular contribution was the study of how feedback mechanisms can give rise to intelligent behavior.
Wiener further theorized that this could be used to create artificial intelligence, a seminal insight in the modern approach to the field.
