Artificial Intelligence: Think Again: Jerry KAPLAN

CodeX: The Stanford Center for Legal Informatics organized an event titled “Artificial Intelligence: Think Again” by Jerry Kaplan on Wednesday, March 1, 2017 at Stanford Law School, Room 180. He explained;

*Can Machines Think?

*What is “Intelligence”?

*The AI Myth making Machine

*The Real Challenge of AI

The common wisdom about Artificial Intelligence is that we are building increasingly intelligent machines that will ultimately surpass human capabilities and possibly even threaten mankind.

Framing AI as a natural expansion of longstanding efforts to automate tasks makes it easier to predict the likely benefits and pitfalls of this important technology.
