In this Hello World video, Bloomberg Businessweek’s Ashlee Vance meets the Godfather of AI.

  1. lol Sorry but this is a nationalist place holder claim…. "Canada invented AI" kinda bs. Like how UK tries to claim they invented the computer because of Turing.

  2. Society should recognize these scientist better,while people praise football players,mumble rappers,entrepreuners people who shape our society were mocked as nerdy and underpaid

  3. Buffalo's at the eastern end of Lake Erie, not Lake Ontario. Pittsburgh is farther east than you show it. This may sound like nitpicking, but it destroyed your credibility for me.

    I was wrong in my earlier post myself — Buffalo is indeed on the Niagara River, but where it flows out of Lake Erie. My apologies. I still think an American publication should know where Buffalo is, though.

  4. I'd like to see more specific videos of how the code was actually written. You know if you want to influence people to code, probably want to show them how it was written. Everything you see about "machine learning" is a narrator struggling to explain the networks with the same exact graphic with the dots and lines without talking about why they chose to code it the way they did.

    Basically – what solved Geoffs computing power problem was time()

  5. We need his face in one of our bills. WAIT! I forgot that the current government only chooses people who didn't want to move from theater's sits back in the days. What a shame.

  6. Johannes Marinus Paulus van Waveren was the real father of AI the bots on quake 3 were created in 95 and they were next level for the time and a pretty advanced computer learning system. This guy wouldn't figure this out for ten years?

  7. Very cool, but I’d love to hear the guy’s views on how we’re going to cope with having advanced AI among us. He clearly must have given it a lot of thought!

  8. Do you mean he 'invented' (stole) the term AI? Because AI doesn't exist yet except in science fiction fantasy. If you think it is a real thing then show me a HAL 9000 that can answer questions put to it by a human without having another human hiding somewhere answering in place of the so-called (fake, hoax) AI. Oh, what? You can't because it doesn't exist yet? Exactly. Not a real thing so let's stop pretending that a term use by advertiser to sell washing machines is actually a real thing now. Stop lying.
