Artificial Intelligence & the future of Humanity with Stuart Russell and Gerard Berry
IWhat is more exciting and cutting edge than two great minds and pioneers in AI and Computer Science discussing artificial intelligence versus human intelligence, the huge investments in AI, the impact of AI on our world and the Future of Humanity? More than 130 people attended the Ivy Plus European Leaders event at the American Library in Paris, filling it to the brim, for the privilege to meet and hear internationally renowned AI Pioneer Stuart Russell Stanford-Oxford graduate, Professor at UCBerkeley, and Gérard Berry Professor at College de France, Head Research INRIA. Our extraordinary speakers gave presentations, showed slides, swapped ideas and responded to questions (Someone in the audience, expert in cybersecurity, asked: Why even compare Human Intelligence with AI?) with a sense of humor, warnings & cautions, educational notions, new information on potential risks, and with challenging interrogations. After a warm welcome by the Director of ALP Audrey Chapuis, spirited entrepreneurs Tram TRINH and Artus de Longuemar joined me in moderating. The inspiring and extremely successful IVY PLUS EUROPEAN LEADERS forum Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Humanity caught the attention of Forbes journalist Lauren Coleman: https://www.forbes.com/sites/laurencoleman/2018/06/27/heres-the-real-reason-youre-terrified-of-the-1-2t-ai-industry-but-dont-yet-truly-know-why/#54eeac711e28
