Kenneth Stanley
Kenneth Owen Stanley is an
artificial intelligence researcher, author, and former professor of
computer science at the
University of Central Florida known for creating the
Neuroevolution of augmenting topologies (NEAT) algorithm. He coauthored ''Why Greatness Cannot Be Planned: The Myth of the Objective'' with Joel Lehman which argues for the existence of the "objective paradox", a paradox which states that "soon as you create an objective, you ruin your ability to reach it". While a professor at the University of Central Florida, he was the director of the Evolutionary Complexity Research Group (EPlex) which led the development of
Galactic Arms Race. He also developed the
HyperNEAT,
CPPNs, and novelty search algorithms. He also co-founded Geometric Intelligence, an AI research firm, in 2015.
