Current AI—and the AI that we can foresee in the reasonable future—does not, and will not, have a moral sense or moral understanding of what is right and what is wrong.
SCIENTIFIC DIRECTOR, MONTREAL INSTITUTE FOR LEARNING ALGORITHMS AND PROFESSOR OF COMPUTER SCIENCE AND OPERATIONS RESEARCH, UNIVERSITY OF MONTREAL
Yoshua Bengio is a professor of computer science and operations research at the University of Montreal and is widely recognized as one of the pioneers of deep learning. Yoshua was instrumental in advancing neural network research, in particular “unsupervised” learning where neural networks can learn without relying on vast amounts of training data.
MARTIN FORD: You are at the forefront of AI research, so I want to begin by asking what current research problems you think we’ll see breakthroughs in over the next few years, and how those will help us on the road to AGI (artificial general intelligence)?
YOSHUA BENGIO: I don’t know exactly what we’re going to...
