In the second episode of this mini-series on the Future of Technology, we will hear from Vint Cerf, Vice President & Chief Internet Evangelist at GOOGLE, and widely known as one of the “Fathers of the Internet,” and Matt Hutson, Contributing Writer at THE NEW YORKER. They will walk us through the challenges and opportunities that Machine Learning presents, and what the future may hold for this technology. What is Machine Learning? How does it differ from AI? What are the limits of simulating human discourse? How can we detect machine-made mistakes and judge the confidence with which a computer reaches its conclusions?
