We have more data than ever before, by many orders of magnitude, yet “strong” artificial intelligence remains elusive. Some notorious difficult problems like speech recognition and the game of Go have recently seen spectacular advances, yet no machine can understand language as well as three-year-old child. Gary Marcus explores the gap between what machines do well and what people do well and what needs to happen before machines can match the flexibility and power of human cognition.

AI is not a matter of strength but of intelligence

December 7, 2019

Francisco Webber offers a critical overview of current approaches to artificial intelligence using "brute force" (aka big data machine learning) as well as a practical demonstration of semantic folding, an alternative approach based on computational principles found in the human neocortex. Semantic folding is not just a research prototypeit's a production-grade enterprise technology.

Deep learning at scale and use cases

December 6, 2019

Deep learning has made a major impact in the last three years. Imperfect interactions with machines, such as speech or image processing, have been made robust by deep learning that finds usable structure in large datasets. Naveen Rao outlines deep learning challenges and explores how changes to the organization of computation and communication can lead to advances in capabilities.

When Hollywood portrays artificial intelligence, it's either a demon or a savior. But the reality is that AI is far more likely to be an extension of ourselves. Strata program chair Alistair Croll looks at the sometimes surprising ways that machine learning is insinuating itself into our everyday lives.

Artificial intelligence: Making a human connection

December 7, 2019

Genevieve Bell explores the meaning of intelligence within the context of machines and its cultural impact on humans and their relationships. Genevieve interrogates AI not just as a technical agenda but as a cultural category in order to understand the ways in which the story of AI is connected to the history of human culture.
