  5. 2015-2017 – superhuman speech understanding

  6. [Sandholm et al.]

  7. Superhuman strategic reasoning under imperfect information Libratus beats best humans at heads-up no-limit Texas hold’empoker [Brown & Sandholm] Pittsburgh, January 2017 Haikou, April 2017

  8. Highly parallel / distributed • Driving trends • Moore’s law ended 2004 => to continue progress, need highly multi-core • Software-as-a-Service & clouds • Access to large-scale resources • Affordable due to amortization across bursty users • Big data

  9. Thoughts about goals of AI • AI has many different goals • This is nothing to avoid • E.g., OR has same “problem” and is not shy about it • Shouldn’t define AI as that which still cannot be done • Human-level intelligence just a milestone along the way • Q: Will there be a super-human species? A: No, AIs will be tools for various purposes

  10. Some potential new AI applications with huge positive impact on the world • Better electricity markets • Combinatorial CO2 allowance / pollution credit markets • Automated market making • Campaign market for advertising • Security games • Physical, information, malware protection, … • Sequential

  11. AI in medicine (and biology) • Machine learning from data • E.g., DNA sequencing data will be driving this • Active learning • AI not just for understanding but for control…[Sandholm, AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2015]

  12. AI is a fast-moving exciting area • We can directly make the world a better place
