Joseph Weizenbaum is recognized among Jewish contributors to Technology & Engineering — ELIZA - Early Natural Language Processing
Joseph Weizenbaum created ELIZA in the mid-1960s at MIT, an early natural-language program whose 'DOCTOR' script imitated a psychotherapist and became a landmark in artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction. Later he became a prominent critic of unquestioning faith in computers. He was Jewish; his family fled Nazi Germany for the United States in 1936.
