Demystifying Artificial Intelligence for Everyone

Section: Full talk Technical level: Beginner Session type: Lecture

Humans have fancied and feared humanoid machines for more than 2000 years. In this talk, we follow the thread that ties our search for super-human machines together with millennia of developments in philosophy, logic, and mathematics. We take a closer look at what Machine Learning & AI really are, what they aren’t, and how they are affecting our societies. This is a non-technical talk, accessible to laypersons from all disciplines. No math required.

Outline

A History: From Panini to Leibniz to Turing
What is AI & What it isn’t
What Awaits Us

Requirements

Curiosity and an interest in history of science & technology.

Paving the way for verification of distributed systems

From our undergraduate courses, we are familiar with the notion finite-state automata (also known as finite-state machines or, simply, state machines), which are abstract models of computation systems. During a computation, the automaton processes the various actions that constitute the computation, and moves from one state to another. A computation is accepted if, at the end of it, the finite-state automaton finally acquires an accepting state.
