Abstract: The media are agog with claims that recent advances in AI put artificial general intelligence (AGI) within reach. Is this true? If so, is that a good thing? Alan Turing predicted that AGI would result in the machines taking control. At this lecture, sponsored by the Neubauer Collegium for Culture and Society as part of its Director’s Lecture series, Stuart Russell will argue that Turing was right to express concern but wrong to think that doom is inevitable. Instead, there is a necessity to develop a new kind of AI that is provably beneficial to humans.
