Professor Terry J. Sejnowski is a distinguished neuroscientist and computational biologist, widely recognized as one of the pioneers of artificial intelligence and neural network research. He is the Francis Crick Professor at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and a Professor of Biological Sciences at the University of California, San Diego.

Sejnowski's groundbreaking work bridges the gap between biology and machine learning, focusing on understanding the brain's computational principles and applying them to AI. He has published several influential books including The Deep Learning Revolution. Being the co-creator of the Boltzmann machines well and early as advancing Hopfield networks and pioneered the use of learning algorithms to solve difficult problems, he has significantly shaped modern AI. Sejnowski has received numerous prestigious awards including The Brain Prize 2024 and is member all four National Academies in the US (of Medicine, Sciences, Engineering and Inventors). Sejnowski is celebrated for his interdisciplinary approach, which has inspired advances in neuroscience, cognitive science, and computational modeling.
