Exploring Ethics: The Deep Learning Revolution
Overview
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of engineering that has traditionally ignored brains, but recent advances in biologically-inspired deep learning have dramatically changed AI and made it possible to solve difficult problems in vision, planning and natural language. If you talk to Alexa or use Google Translate, you have experienced deep learning in action. This new technology opens a Pandora’s box of problems that we must confront regarding privacy, bias, and jobs.
Guest Speaker:
Terry Sejnowski, Ph.D,
Francis Crick Professor Computational Neurobiology Laboratory at The Salk Institute for Biological Studies, and Professor of Biology and Computer Science and Engineering and Director of the Institute for Neural Computation at the University of California, San Diego.
The long-range goal of Dr. Sejnowski’s research is to understand the computational resources of brains and to build linking principles from the brain to behavior using computational models. Dr. Sejnowski has published over 500 scientific papers and 12 books, including The Deep Learning Revolution in 2018. He received the Wright Prize for Interdisciplinary research in 1996, the Hebb Prize from the International Neural Network Society in 1999, and the IEEE Neural Network Pioneer Award in 2002. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, the National Academy of Medicine and the National Academy of Inventors.
