Subject: [CEU Cogsci Talks] REMINDER: Gary Marcus May 15, 11 am - RSVP needed!!! - ``What kind of AI world do we want?``
Dear All,
Gary Marcus is visiting CEU and is going to have a talk on
Wednesday, May 15, 2024, 11:00 am – 1:00 pm in CEU Vienna QS Auditorium
Title: What kind of AI world do we want?
Registration required (here)!
The event is not going to be Zoomed out but a recording will be made.
This event is jointly supported by the
Knowledge in Crisis Cluster of Excellence and the
Department of Cognitive Science.
GARY MARCUS is a leading voice in artificial intelligence. He is a scientist, best-selling author, and serial entrepreneur (Founder of Robust.AI and Geometric.AI, acquired by Uber). He is well-known for his challenges to contemporary AI,
anticipating many of the current limitations decades in advance, and for his research in human language development and cognitive neuroscience.
An Emeritus Professor of Psychology and Neural Science at NYU, he is the author of five books, including, The Algebraic Mind, Kluge, The
Birth of the Mind, and the New York Times Bestseller Guitar Zero. He has often contributed to The New Yorker, Wired,
and The New York Times. His most recent book, Rebooting AI, with Ernest Davis, is one of Forbes’s 7 Must Read Books in AI.
Abstract:
Generative AI (transcribed as “dinner AI” when I dictated this abstract) is just one possible flavor of AI among many, but fully dominant right now. Is it actually the kind of AI that we want? I will argue the generative AI is morally and
technically inadequate, and that we need to foster the development of more trustworthy approaches.
