ABSTRACT:
The deep learning AI revolution has been sweeping the world for a decade now. Deep neural nets are routinely used for tasks like translation, fraud detection, & image classification. PwC estimates that they will create $15.7 trillion/year of value by 2030. But most current networks are "discriminative" in that they directly map inputs to predictions. This type of model requires lots of training examples, doesn't generalize well outside of its training set, creates inscrutable representations, is subject to adversarial examples, & makes knowledge transfer difficult. People, in contrast, can learn from just a few examples, generalize far beyond their experience, & can easily transfer & reuse knowledge. In recent years, new kinds of "generative" AI models have begun to exhibit these desirable human characteristics. They represent the causal generative processes by which the data is created & can be compositional, compact, & directly interpretable. Generative AI systems that assist people can model their needs & desires & interact with empathy. Their adaptability to changing circumstances will likely be required by rapidly changing AI-driven business & social systems. Generative AI will be the engine of future AI innovation.
KEYNOTE SPEAKER:
Steve Omohundro, PhD - Research Scientist @ Facebook + Author, "Geometric Perturbation Theory in Physics"
Steve Omohundro has done fundamental research in AI for 35 years & is currently a Research Scientist at Facebook working on AI-based simulation. He has a PhD in physics, was an AI professor at the University of Illinois, & has been a scientist at several research labs & startup companies. He co-founded one of the first complex systems institutes, designed the first data-parallel programming language, invented manifold learning, co-developed the first image recommender system, co-developed the first attention-driven neural nets, co-built the first lip reading system, & developed many other machine learning algorithms. His work on AI's social impact was featured in the book "Our Final Invention" & he appears in the Universal Pictures documentary "We Need to Talk About AI". He believes that AI is about to unlock enormous business & social value.
