Herbert Simon
Herbert Simon was a polymath who played a foundational role in the development of artificial intelligence. He co-developed the Logic Theorist, often considered the first AI program, and pioneered the study of bounded rationality in decision-making. His work bridged the gap between human psychology and computer science, earning him a Nobel Prize in Economics.
