He is a living example of the value of good questions over clever "answers". The interview shows dozens of "cutting age" research projects where AI has become part of virtually everything. Notes on the discussion: The Turing Test was more of a thought experiment than a formal test; Language ability will be the key to assessing cognitive ability. Our understanding of how language works has grown by leaps and bounds over the last 50 years; Why GPU's are key ... matrix multiplication (key application in my 1969 thesis); Why games became a critical AI research tool; Impressed by how well the human does against the champion computer program - the fac...
