Herbert Simon and Allen Newell were pioneers in artificial intelligence: that is, they were among the first to think about the issues involved in designing computers that were not just extremely fast at doing the calculations for well-structured problems, but in designing computers that could learn from their own mistakes and teach themselves to do better. Simon and Newell shared the Turing prize, sometimes referred to as thfe "Nobel prize in computing" in 1975, and Simon won the Nobel prize in economics in 1978.
