Internet visionary Robert Kahn to speak at the Computer History Museum Jan. 9

Robert Kahn, one of the archi­tects of the inter­net, will have what promises to be a fas­ci­nat­ing con­ver­sa­tion with arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence guru Ed Feigen­baum Jan. 9 at the Com­puter His­tory Museum in Moun­tain View, Calif.

Kahn is CEO and pres­i­dent of the Cor­po­ra­tion for National Research Ini­tia­tives. Kahn and Vin­ton Cerf invented the TCP/IP pro­to­col, the tech­nol­ogy that under­pins the trans­mis­sion of infor­ma­tion on the Internet.

Kahn, who received his Ph.D. from Prince­ton in 1964, is part of Princeton’s lumi­nous legacy in the field of com­puter sci­ence and in the devel­op­ment of the Inter­net. Alan Tur­ing, Alonzo Church and John von Neu­mann all spent time at Prince­ton. Recent Inter­net inno­va­tors who are Prince­ton Engi­neer­ing under­grad­u­ates include Jeff Bezos, founder of Ama­zon, and Eric Schmidt, chair­man and CEO of Google, who was just named CEO of the Year by Investors Busi­ness Daily.
