AIGames.solar we invite everyone to play AI Games by naming who they see as most unique;y having advanced the human lot 1950-2025. Here is 2023-2-24 top 20. There is so much to be done if the younger half of the world is to be the first sustainability generation that our selections are passed towards the living - only tow have passed. (1 Steve Jobs and Fazle Abed). If we were to make this representative of all 75 years ; the first maths great we'd include Von Neumann; the agricultural great Borlaug; the quality systems great deming; JF Kennedy the most pro-youth world leader. UNICEFs health great James Grant would defimtely need theit intelligenvce integrated.
Of course there is no perfect selection- whats the ,ost urgent crisis facing the community yo care most about? We welcome other nominations - but here's a quck tour around these 20 as well as what to see now esdpecialy if you are teacher or student 23-24 wanting milennaisl to be first sdgenerationMore than anyone else it was the inteligence of Borlaug and Abed that raised life expecatncies in pooresdt nations of the 20th century from low 40s to at least 60. That builds an extra generation into family building - making eg higehrer education more viable. Until that happens almost every undedeveloped country priotises boys lives over girls Even as the 20th c came tio a close its not that clear that thre ehalves of the world , women youth, porest get more than 10% voice in the future and to be in ll three of those populations - the main group an=bed lived to empower needed the most unique intellignece. Styeve Jobs also had an unique intelignece. So it was great that he chsoe to host silicon valey's 65th birthday wish party for fazle abed in 2001. The two of them agreed they would do everything they could to transform 21st c university at least as far as afemale empowerin =ng alumni wished to colaborate around the inteligencve abed was now 30 years into building and little more than 5 year of partnersbrining him solar and mobile to vilages previousy without any grids (no electricity- no telecomsd- no piped wayer)
