In 2012, the landscape of artificial intelligence underwent a seismic shift with the introduction of alexnet architecture, a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) that revolutionized computer vision. Designed by Alex Krizhevsky, Ilya Sutskever, and Geoffrey Hinton, AlexNet won the ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC) that year with an unprecedented error rate reduction, signaling the dawn of a new era in machine learning.
