Norbert Wiener

1894–1964 · Father of Cybernetics

Invented the field of cybernetics — the study of how machines and living systems regulate themselves. Then immediately warned the world about the consequences. Wiener saw that information is power, and providing it is never an innocent act. He chose responsibility over reputation decades before anyone else even framed the question. A Grithosian understands that building powerful things demands powerful honesty about what they can do.
