Marvin Minsky

Marvin Lee Minsky (August 9, 1927 – legal death January 24, 2016) was an American cognitive and computer scientist concerned largely with research of artificial intelligence (AI), co-founder of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's AI laboratory, and author of several texts concerning AI and philosophy. Minsky was a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Alcor Life Extension Foundation from 1999 to 2016. He is a signatory of the Scientists' Open Letter on Cryonics, having signed it on March 19, 2004.

Officially, Alcor "neither confirms nor denies" that Minsky was cryopreserved. However, the case summary for Alcor patient A-1700 contains details that indicate that Minsky may be A-1700.
