Gary Kasparov and Stuart Russel on Machine Intelligence
This is a great talk by Kasparov, the chess master who "lost" to the Deep Blue computer. Stuart Russel has more to say on the subject. Stuart Russell is a professor (and formerly chair) of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at University of California at Berkeley. His book Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach (with Peter Norvig) is the standard text in AI; it has been translated into 13 languages and is used in more than 1,300 universities in 118 countries. His research covers a wide range of topics in artificial intelligence including machine learning, probabilistic reasoning, knowledge representation, planning, real-time decision making, multitarget tracking, computer vision, computational physiology, global seismic monitoring and philosophical foundations. He also works for the United Nations, developing a new global seismic monitoring system for the nuclear-test-ban treaty. Intelligent machines (or even dumb ones) are a model of the human mind, or, mo...
