The field of AI, although born from the brilliance of modern computation, finds its roots in timeless philosophical contemplations.
Modern AI puts us firmly into an age of exploration of computational reality
I've supervised a lot of great student projects in my nine years at MIT, but my inner nerdy teenager has never been as personally delighted by a project as it is right now. Today, I'm proud to announce that Adam Yedidia, a PhD student at MIT (but an MEng student when he did most of this work),…
Artificial intelligence has made tremendous advances since its inception about seventy years ago. Self-driving cars, programs beating experts at complex games, and smart robots capable of assisting people that need care are just some among the successful examples of machine intelligence. This kind of progress might entice us to envision a society populated by autonomous robots capable of performing the same tasks humans do in the near future. This prospect seems limited only by the power and complexity of current computational devices, which is improving fast. However, there are several signif...
