Tanmay Bakshi, a 14-year-old boy, became an advisor to IBM, an AI expert

The destiny of the future of mankind will be in the hands of young talents like the Tanmay Bakshi!

Meet Tanmay Bakshi: a computer programmer, an expert in artificial intelligence and an individual with an extraordinary knowledge of technology. Bakshi has developed many mobile applications, published books, stands on TEDx Talk stage and speaks at high-level meetings hosted by IBM Watson in countries such as Finland, New Zealand, Denmark or Australia. .

There is one thing to emphasize here:

Tanmay Bakshi is only 14 years old.

When 11 years old Tanmay was eyeed by IBM. However, the name Tanmay Bakshi is so familiar to people in the technology world. At the age of 5, at this age many children are still uneducated, cannot read and write, but the boy Bakshi has started to dig up the first code.

Bakshi's father is Puneet Bakshi, a computer programmer with many years of experience. It was his father who gave him the passion for technology and also taught Bakshi the first lines of code. When Mr. Bakshi knocked out those cryptic characters with other 5-year-olds, the little Bakshi was reading each line with a surprisingly amused face.

"I find it very impressive to see that computers can do anything," Bakshi told CNBC. "I want to know what is at the root of everything and see how to control computers, order them to do what."

Feeling that boys have a preference for technology, Mr. Bakshi instructs me how to program. Since then, she started using the Internet herself and learning more books about programming.

When he was 7, Bakshi himself created his own Youtube channel, the content that the Youtube page played was instructions for writing code and programming for the web, helping those who share common interests can learn by themselves. In the comment section of the video I upload it full of questions flying from all the horizons around the world.

Without keeping my own talent, I share my knowledge with the community

A 7-year-old boy who understands technology issues as well as foresight. Bakshi's goal of developing a Youtube channel is to help thousands of programmers who love programming and want to learn about programming can easily get closer to what they are passionate about. Up to now, my Youtube channel has more than 264,000 registrations and it will definitely increase.

Eight years old, he taught himself how to develop iOS apps. Nine years old, the founder of the first application accepted by Apple Store: TTables, a free application to teach how to calculate multiplication.

But over time, young Bakshi lost interest in programming. "I always feel that technology is so much restricted. I always find that the moment I set something, it has become an outdated thing."

At the age of eleven, the first known artificial intelligence through reportage about the IBM Watson machine could answer the question and how it played the famous TV game Jeopardy. Bakshi boy decided to change his life: switch to the IBM Watson project.

Within just a week, I successfully built the application for Watson, the application called "Ask Tanay - Ask Tanay". This application will respond to the question posed to it, retrieve the data and give the most reasonable answer. Not long after that, I caught another IBM service called Document Conversion - Text Converter is still in alpha development.

This software has the main feature of converting text from one format to another, from DOC to PDF or HTML or vice versa. After just a few minutes using Document Conversion, I discovered a bug. I uploaded what I found on a programming forum as well as on my personal Twitter.

Incidentally, after I posted this article on a forum, an IBM technical staff member read it and he quickly found a way to immediately contact Bakshi to discuss the application. Then it was these people who became new teachers for Bakshi and the unexpected story came: they encouraged me to cooperate with IBM.

And from that point on, the technology giant gave Tanmay Bakshi countless opportunities to stand on the big stage of the prestigious conferences held by IBM itself. And interestingly, an 11-year-old boy stood in front of 25,000 people; at Developers Conference in Bengal, India.

Basically, Bakshi doesn't work for IBM because he doesn't get any pay! But now, Bakshi is still associated with this cult company, launching many different projects. Because of these contributions, the expert himself researches this artificial intelligence has impressed the "big men" at IBM. Among them, there is a teacher who is leading me, chief technology officer of IBM Watson, Mr. Rob High.

With a wealth of knowledge about Al, I have surprised many people. After a speech at the 2017 Knowledge Summit in Dubai, she was awarded the Ambassador's Knowledge Award by Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, organized by the king of Dubai himself. I am also the champion of IBM Cloud and also an honorary advisor to the IBM Cloud.

In addition to attending technology conferences, Bakshi is also working on improving projects that will make people's lives better.

My closest project relies heavily on neural networks - neural network a computer system built on the prototype of the human brain and nervous system.

I argue that people often cause errors in the health care industry. It is also a place that produces tons of data but can only apply the test - type method to find the best treatment, which will slow the development of medicine.

It is the endless applications of artificial intelligence to medicine that are also the reason for Bakshi to learn more deeply and study Al. "Creating any project is a journey," said Bakshi. "But I really love being persistent across the forest because I know that the results that are waiting for me at the end are really great, every step will be step by step learning."

To go further with new technologies of artificial intelligence, Bakshi will go to college but currently, I don't know where I want to go. I am paying attention to Stanford and Harvard, which have done reputable research in a way that you are pursuing now.

As for work, I plan to go to any company's research team: IBM, Google, Microsoft or Apple - any company that does not contribute to humanity! But I frankly said that I don't limit myself to any framework.

"Maybe I will build my own company to focus on AI research, development and application."

In addition to creating applications, Bakshi has also published a book that he himself wrote: "Hello Swift programming language !: This is how to program iOS apps for children and for other newcomers. ". The technology boy also added that he is currently writing a book about IBM, but has not had a specific launch date yet.

And young Tanmay Bakshi thanked his parents for the successes he has achieved so far: they have created the conditions for him to study the things he likes, they support them with their best and are proud of young son but holding the ability to change humanity.

The road ahead of me is long, and surely Tanay Bakshi will be devoted to this humanity very much!
