Top 100 Artificial and Robotics Influencers 2015.
Kirk Borne tweeted the Top 100 … link today.
More interesting than most listicles but as static HTML, it doesn’t lend itself to re-use.
For example, can you tell me:
- Academic publications anyone listed had in 2014? (One assumes the year they were judged against for the 2015 list.)
- Academic publications anyone listed had in 2015?
- Which of these people were co-authors?
- Which of these people have sent tweets on AI?
- etc.
Other than pandering to our love of lists, lists appear organized and we like organization at little or no cost, what does an HTML listicle have to say for itself?
