The Colloquium on AI aspirations and Advances by Eric Horvitz, head of Microsoft Research, was held on June 20 at 6 PM at Université Paris Sorbonne, Ecole de Médecine.
Abstract
Artificial intelligence is at an inflection point, powered by a confluence of several factors, including leaps in computational capabilities, growth in data resources, and advances in algorithms. After sharing reflections about the long-term pursuit of artificial intelligence, I will focus on recent developments in AI and on opportunities and hard challenges ahead. I will discuss key aspirations spanning theory and practice, including the pursuit of more general artificial intelligence, the mastery of human-AI collaboration, and on understanding and addressing the influences of AI advances on people and society.
