Elon Musk will be this generations' Edison. Some current nobody in ML or AI research will be the Turing of our time. They're here, we just don't know it yet.

I hope you mean this in the literal sense, in that they are both people who have taken the scientific contributions of others for their own businesses, and somehow get the credit for work they never did.

Yes, I would have said Tesla if he was the Tesla of our generation. I'm not an Edison fan, but I appreciate the work he did for society.
