This event is jointly supported by the Knowledge in Crisis<https://philosophy.ceu.edu/knowledge-crisis-project> Cluster of Excellence and the Department of Cognitive Science<https://cognitivescience.ceu.edu/>u/>. 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. https://events.ceu.edu/2024-05-15/gary-marcus-what-kind-ai-world-do-we-want Kind regards, Reka ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GyörgyNÉ Finta (Réka) Department Coordinator Department of cognitive SCience --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [cid:image001.jpg@01DA9C84.3F61A170] CEU GmbH - CEU Central European University private university Quellenstrasse 51, A-1100 Wien, Room B502 Office: +43 125230 5138 cognitivescience.ceu.edu<https://cognitivescience.ceu.edu/>| www.ceu.edu<http://www.ceu.edu/> See CEU story: www.youtube.com/ceuhungary<http://www.youtube.com/ceuhungary> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CEU is committed to energy and environmental sustainability www.ceu.hu/sustainability<http://www.ceu.hu/sustainability> [Image removed by sender.] Please, consider your environmental responsibility.
