Taming Silicon Valley
Abstract:
AI could make society or break it. It could revolutionize science, medicine, and technology, and deliver us a world of abundance and better health. Or it could lead to the downfall of democracy, an explosion in cybercrime, or possibly even worse. It’s also been wildly oversold.
In this seminar, moderator Peter Norvig and speaker Gary Marcus explain why current AI is both morally and technically inadequate, and what we need to do as a society – and as individual citizens – to get to AI that works for all of us.
