“Father of the Internet” Vinton Cerf to Conclude His Career at Google

Renowned American computer scientist and one of the pioneers of the modern Internet, Vinton Cerf, will conclude his work at Google next week, according to TechCrunch, as cited by AZERTAC.

Eighty-three-year-old Cerf, together with his colleague Robert Kahn, developed the TCP/IP networking protocols that became the foundation of today's Internet. Their collaboration, which began in the 1970s, laid the groundwork for the global Internet as we know it today.

Since 2005, Cerf has served at Google as Vice President and Chief Internet Evangelist, promoting the development of Internet technologies and digital innovation.

Before retiring, Cerf participated in the Open Frontier scientific conference organized by the Laude Institute. One of the main topics discussed was the growing concentration of advanced artificial intelligence models in the hands of a small number of major technology companies. Participants noted that this trend runs counter to the principles of an open and decentralized Internet that inspired the creation of the TCP/IP protocols.
