Intelligent Machines: One of the fathers of AI is worried about its future<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0— from technologyreview.com by Will Knight
\nYoshua Bengio wants to stop talk of an AI arms race and make the technology more accessible to the developing world.<\/em><\/p>\n

Excerpts:<\/em><\/p>\n

Yoshua Bengio is a grand master of modern artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

Alongside Geoff Hinton and Yann LeCun, Bengio is famous for championing a technique known as deep learning that in recent years has gone from an academic curiosity to one of the most powerful technologies on the planet.<\/p>\n

Deep learning involves feeding data to large neural networks that crudely simulate the human brain, and it has proved incredibly powerful and effective for all sorts of practical tasks, from voice recognition and image classification to controlling self-driving cars and automating business decisions.<\/p>\n

Bengio has resisted the lure of any big tech company. While Hinton and LeCun joined Google and Facebook, respectively, he remains a full-time professor at the University of Montreal. (He did, however, cofound Element AI in 2016, and it has built a very successful business helping big companies explore the commercial applications of AI research.)<\/p>\n

Bengio met with MIT Technology Review\u2019s senior editor for AI, Will Knight, at an MIT event recently.<\/p>\n

What do you make of the idea that there\u2019s an AI race between different countries?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t like it. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s the right way to do it.<\/p>\n

We could collectively participate in a race, but as a scientist and somebody who wants to think about the common good, I think we\u2019re better off thinking about how to both build smarter machines and make sure AI is used for the well-being of as many people as possible.<\/p>\n
