“Scientists study the world as it is; engineers create the world that has never been." -Theodore von Karman

Celebrating Indian American Innovator

AI Pioneer, Dr Raj Reddy

Do you control your phone with voice commands? Did you know your car was built by dozens of robots? Have you read books online for free? For over five-decades, Dr Raj Reddy and his students established the foundations for these technologies: speech recognition, computer vision, autonomous robotic systems, and universal access to information.

Dr Raj Reddy, the first Asian and till date the only Indian to win the ACM Turing Award (also known as the Nobel Prize for Computing) has been a trailblazer in the field of AI. ASEI felicitates him on being inducted into Computer History Museum Hall of Fame in a ceremony on June 24th.
