Fast.ai founders on the promise of deep learning and coming to terms with AI
In this episode of the ARCHITECHT AI Show (from Aug. 18, 2017), Derrick Harris speaks with Jeremy Howard and Rachel Thomas of Fast.ai, where they teach popular online courses aimed to get students up and running with deep learning. Among other things, Howard and Thomas discuss the promise of deep learning and early student successes (including Hot Dog, Not Hot Dog app from Silicon Valley), as well as the threat of job losses from AI and how seriously we should take Elon Musk’s AI warnings.
In the news segment, co-hosts Derrick Harris, Signe Brewster and Chris Albrecht tackle Andrew Ng’s new deeplearning.ai course, OpenAI’s “controversial” Dota 2 bot, Gartner’s latest Hype Cycle, and some positive predictions about how many jobs will be lost to automation.
Highlights from the interview with Howard and Thomas will be posted here (eventually). Scroll to the bottom (or click here) for links to listen to the podcast pretty much everywhere else you might want to.
