Rodney Brooks "The Future of Innovation in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics"
Rodney Brooks is a computer scientist, roboticist, and entrepreneur. He was a Panasonic Professor (emeritus) of Robotics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and former director of the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). He is a founder and former Chief Technical Officer of iRobot (makers of Roomba vacuum).
Brooks delivered his Shannon Luminary Lecture "The future of Innovation in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics" on December 13, 2018. Today we see the successful exploitation of innovative AI research that will stretch on for many years. Eventually we will need new innovations, on the order of importance of Deep Learning to continue to fuel AI and robotics deployment. This talk will explore the history of hard problems in AI, what is still very hard today, and how early along the way towards human level intelligence we really are.
