| 03/11/2016 | The Long-Term Future of (Artificial) Intelligence | Stuart Russell | 7:30 pm, Math 100. The news media in recent months have been full of dire warnings about the risk that AI poses to the human race, coming from well-known figures such as Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk, and Bill Gates. Should we be concerned? If so, what can we do about it? While some in the mainstream AI community dismiss these concerns, I will argue instead that a fundamental reorientation of the field is required. |
