Details
Professor Fabio Cuzzolin will explore how intelligent
machines can negotiate a complex world, fraught with
uncertainty, and smoothly share it with human beings in a
way acceptable to us.
Artificial intelligence is becoming part of our lives. Smart
cars will engage our roads in less than ten years’ time;
shops with no checkout, which automatically recognise
customers and what they purchase, are already open for
business. But to enable machines to deal with uncertainty,
we must fundamentally change the way machines learn
from the data they observe so that they will be able to cope
with situations they have never encountered in the safest
possible way. Interacting naturally with human beings and
their complex environments will only be possible if machines
are able to put themselves in people’s shoes: to guess their
goals, beliefs and intentions – in other words, to read our
minds.
Fabio will explain just how machines can be provided with
this mind-reading ability
