"Noam Chomsky, the revered and reviled genius once famously described as “the
most important intellectual alive”, turns 95 today. He is a monumental figure
in modern linguistics, and only a slightly lesser deity in psychology,
philosophy and political activism.
His work establishing cognitive science as a discipline is so fundamental to
the rise of AI that it’s rarely acknowledged anymore.
Amid the ongoing alarm that language-simulating machines could become a net
negative for humanity, have we wandered too far from Chomsky’s vision of a
science of the human mind?"
