Norbert Wiener
Norbert Wiener (1894-1964) was an American mathematician and philosopher, best known as the founder of cybernetics, a field that explores the regulatory systems of machines and living beings. His groundbreaking work laid the foundation for modern computing and artificial intelligence, emphasizing the importance of feedback loops in systems. Wiener's insights into the relationship between humans and machines raised profound ethical questions about technology's role in society, particularly concerning autonomy and the potential obsolescence of human beings in the face of advancing technology.
