One of the first to describe neural networks was neurophysiologis Warren McCulloch and mathematician Walter Pitts, as a model for biological brains.
In 1959 Bernard Widrow and Marcian Hoff of Stanford adapted the idea to create MADALINE, the first neural network put into production to eliminate echoes in phone lines. It’s still in use today! (Stanford History of Neural Networks).
