on Wednesday won the industry’s most prestigious prize for the invention of Ethernet, a technology that half a century after its creation remains the foundation of the internet.
The Association for Computing Machinery credited Metcalfe, 76, with Ethernet’s “invention, standardisation, and commercialisation” in conferring its 2022 Turing Award, known as the Nobel prize of computing. It comes with a US$1-million prize thanks to backing from Google.Ethernet got its start when Metcalfe, who later went on to co-found computing network equipment maker 3Com, was asked to hook up the office printer.
Metcalfe, who graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1969 and earned a doctorate in computer science from Harvard in 1973, said in an interview that there is still much research to be done in connecting computers, especially in artificial intelligence.Metcalfe said previous generations of AI “died on the vine because of a lack of data”.
