HAI Weekly Seminar with Andrew Ng
From improving medical diagnosis to optimizing supply chains, AI holds the promise of transforming every industry. However, many companies and teams--particularly ones outside the consumer internet industry--are still struggling to take research breakthroughs or promising proof-of-concept demonstrations and turn them into practical production deployments. How can researchers and AI professionals help bridge this gap? In this talk, I’ll describe some key challenges facing AI deployments, and also discuss some solutions, ranging from techniques for working with small data, to improving algorithms’ robustness and generalizability, to systematically planning out the full-cycle of machine learning projects.

Wolfgang Lehrach | Code World Models for General Game Playing
While Large Language Models (LLMs) show promise in many domains, relying on them for direct policy generation in games often results in illegal moves and poor strategic play.

Arvind Narayanan | Adapting to the Transformation of Knowledge Work
The possibility that AI will automate most cognitive labor is worth taking seriously. How should we adapt to this transformation? I start from the perspective, articulated in the essay “AI as normal technology”, that the true bottlenecks lie downstream of capabilities and that AI’s impacts will unfold gradually over decades. If this is true, there are major gaps in our current evidence infrastructure, because it over-emphasizes the capability layer.
