Godfathers of AI - Yoshua Bengio interview

Watch this important interview with the great scientist Yoshua Bengio, one of the creators of AI (Artificial Intelligence), who continuous his scientific development on AI, ML (Machine Learning(, DL (Deep Learning) in combination with many different sciences (mathematics, logic, statistics, engineering, physics, psychology, etc), with Artificial neural network, and organic brain science.Show more

cThe interview with Professor Yoshua Bengio was conducted on June 7th, 2019 at the MILA (Montreal Institute for Learning Algorithms) in Montreal, Canada. Yoshua Bengio is one of the pioneers of AI (Artificial Intelligence)

Nowadays, when the people are being assisted by AI systems through digital devices and when the topics of system control, privacy protection, secure systems (centralized and decentralized as blockchain for example), anti fraud intelligent, and other systems, are important to all of us, we would like and we expect that AI systems will be intelligent enough to help us, protect us, secure our privacy in cyber space, and cease any cyber war.

That’s why it’s important to know in general how AI is learning and developing, could it be biased or unbiased, manipulated or not, and think about what direction it can choose on its own one day...

Yoshua Bengio is a computer scientist, mostly known for his developments and scientific works on Deep learning, neural machine translation, generative adversarial networks, "attention model", word embeddings, denoising auto-encoders, neural language models, learning to learn.

His thesis was titled: "Artificial Neural Networks and their Application to Sequence Recognition" (1991) - Université de Montréal in Canada

In October 2016, Bengio co-founded Element AI, a Montreal-based artificial intelligence incubator that turns AI research into real-world business applications. In May 2017, Bengio announced that he was joining Montreal-based legal tech startup Botler AI, as a strategy adviser. Bengio currently serves as a scientific and technical advisor for Recursion Pharmaceuticals.

Yoshua Bengio (born 1964 in Paris, France) is a Canadian computer scientist, most noted for his work on artificial neural networks and deep learning. He is a professor at the Department of Computer Science and Operations Research at the Université de Montréal and scientific director of the Montreal Institute for Learning Algorithms (MILA). Bengio received the 2018 ACM A.M. Turing Award, together with Geoffrey Hinton and Yann LeCun, for their work in deep learning.

Bengio, Hinton, and LeCun, are sometimes referred to as the "Godfathers of AI" and "Godfathers of Deep Learning".

Yoshua Bengio words, quote:
“My main quest is to understand the principles that underline intelligence, and I believe that this happens through learning, that intelligent behaviour arises in nature and in the computers that we’re building, through learning. The machine, the animal, the human, becomes intelligent because it learns. And understanding the underlined principles is like understanding the laws of aerodynamics for building airplanes. So, I and others, in my field are trying to figure out what is the equivalent of the laws of aerodynamics but for intelligence - so that’s the quest. And we’re taking the inspiration from the brains, from a lot of our experiments that we’re doing with computers trying to learn from data. We are taking inspiration from other disciplines, from physics, from psychology, neuroscience, from other fields, even electrical engineering, and of course from statistics - it’s a very multidisciplinary area...” - Yoshua Bengio
