What does it mean to create (artificial) intelligence? Is studying intelligence strictly beneficial? Do we need to control the algorithms we create? Are we on a good path with deep learning and large language models? Rich Sutton, a leading figure in the field of reinforcement learning, gave an opinionated talk and discussed his views on the future of AI with Prague’s own Tomáš Mikolov, a researcher with a significant footprint in the current language models.
