in mathematics from Harvard University in 1950 and a Ph.D.
Minsky also built, in 1951, the first randomly wired neural network learning machine, SNARC.
Clarke's derivative novel of the same name, where he is portrayed as achieving a crucial break-through in artificial intelligence in the then-future 1980s, paving the way for HAL 9000 in the early 21st century: }} ==Personal life== In 1952, Minsky married pediatrician Gloria Rudisch; together they had three children.
in mathematics from Princeton University in 1954.
His doctoral dissertation was titled "Theory of neural-analog reinforcement systems and its application to the brain-model problem." He was a Junior Fellow of the Harvard Society of Fellows from 1954 to 1957. He was on the MIT faculty from 1958 to his death.

He joined the staff at MIT Lincoln Laboratory in 1958, and a year later he and John McCarthy initiated what is, , named the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.
In 1962, Minsky worked in small universal Turing machines and published his well-known 7-state, 4-symbol machine. Minsky's book Perceptrons (written with Seymour Papert) attacked the work of Frank Rosenblatt, and became the foundational work in the analysis of artificial neural networks.
The book is the center of a controversy in the history of AI, as some claim it to have had great importance in discouraging research of neural networks in the 1970s, and contributing to the so-called "AI winter".
Minsky also wrote of the possibility that extraterrestrial life may think like humans, permitting communication. In the early 1970s, at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab, Minsky and Papert started developing what came to be known as the Society of Mind theory.

In 1986, Minsky published The Society of Mind, a comprehensive book on the theory which, unlike most of his previously published work, was written for the general public. In November 2006, Minsky published The Emotion Machine, a book that critiques many popular theories of how human minds work and suggests alternative theories, often replacing simple ideas with more complex ones.
Recent drafts of the book are freely available from his webpage. ==Role in popular culture== Minsky was an adviser on Stanley Kubrick's movie 2001: A Space Odyssey; one of the movie's characters, Victor Kaminski, was named in Minsky's honor.
