Biographical entries for the people who built the physical substrate of modern AI, and for those who insisted intelligence has to act in the world rather than only reason about it: chip and systems architects on one side, roboticists on the other.

Training and running large models is bounded by hardware as much as by ideas, and the shift from general-purpose processors to architectures designed around matrix multiplication is one of the reasons the last decade looked the way it did. See Compute and Inference for the concepts, and AI People Glossary for the full list of people organised by era.
