Beneficial Artificial Intelligence

In 2015, computer scientist and AI pioneer, Stuart Russell, became the first signatory of an open letter calling on researchers to ensure “that increasingly capable AI systems are robust and beneficial.” Stuart joins Azeem Azhar to discuss the possible AI futures and how to ensure technology serves the good of humanity.

Stuart and Azeem also discuss:

• The nature of intelligence and re-creating intelligence in machines
• Algorithmic fairness and regulating AI
• Embodied intelligence
• Using AI to reach the UN Sustainable Development Goals
