Reinforcement learning pioneers Andrew Barto and Richard Sutton receive the Turing Award for revolutionizing AI innovation and shaping the future of technology.

The Turing Award, sometimes referred to as the "Nobel Prize of computing" was given to a University of Massachusetts Amherst computer scientist and his former graduate student.

Retired UMass Amherst professor Andrew Barto and his doctoral student Richard Sutton are the winners of this year's A.M. Turing Award.

Two trailblazing scientists who today received this year’s Turing Award for creating fundamental artificial intelligence training techniques are using the spotlight to shine concern on the dangers of rushing AI models out for public consumption.
