Since age 15, his main goal has been to build a self-improving Artificial Intelligence smarter than himself, then retire. His lab's deep learning artificial neural networks have revolutionised machine learning and A.I. By 2017, they were on over 3 billion smartphones, and used billions of times per day, for Facebook’s automatic translation, Google’s speech recognition, Google Translate, Apple’s Siri & QuickType, Amazon’s Alexa, etc. Generative AI is also based on his work: he introduced principles of artificial curiosity and generative adversarial networks (1990, now widely used), unnormalised linear Transformers (1991, the \"T\" in \"ChatGPT\" stands for \"Transformer\"), self-supervised pre-training for deep learning (1991, the \"P\" in \"ChatGPT\" stands for \"pre-trained”), and meta-learning machines that learn to learn (since 1987, now widely used). His lab also produced LSTM, the most cited AI of the 20th century, and the LSTM-inspired Highway Net, the first very deep feedforward net with hundreds of layers (ResNet, the most cited AI of the 21st century, is an open-gated Highway Net). In 2006-2010, he published the \"formal theory of fun and creativity.\" Elon Musk tweeted: \"Schmidhuber invented everything.\" He is recipient of numerous awards, Director of the AI Initiative at KAUST in KSA, Scientific Director of the Swiss AI Lab IDSIA, and Co-Founder & Chief Scientist of the company NNAISENSE. He is a frequent keynote speaker at major events, and advising various governments on A.I. strategies.",

Born in Bavaria, he got his start getting what's now online sports betting platform Bwin up and running in 1997, before founding Sportradar and creating a global sports data empire in 2001. From FIFA to the NBA, Sportradar is the official data partner of the biggest players in the sports industry and in turn makes its troves of data available to sports media and betting providers. In total, Sportradar covers almost one million events in over 90 sports every year from its HQ in St. Gallen, Switzerland. For his part, Koerl has primarily remained out of the spotlight during his entrepreneurial career. However, those days of anonymity came to an end by September 2021, when he and Sportradar made waves by having NBA GOAT Michael Jordan headline the company's IPO on Nasdaq. Jordan is among some very prominent investors in Sportradar, including Chelsea owner Todd Boehly and now former owner of the Dallas Mavericks. At the time of its IPO, the valuation of Sportsradar was a staggering USD 4.7b—and CEO Koerl heads a team of nearly 4000 in 20 different countries.",
