Marvin Minsky was a computer scientist who worked on the development of artificial intelligence and robotics. He discovered that complex tasks for a robot could be handled more efficiently if broken down into separate subroutines. He later theorized that the human mind may operate on a similar structure, with many individual subroutines that operate without our conscious knowledge that can be used together to complete complex tasks.
