Azeem’s Picks: Beyond Deep Learning (with Gary Marcus)

Artificial intelligence (AI) is dominating the headlines, but it’s not a new topic here on Exponential View. Azeem Azhar shares his favorite conversations with AI experts. Their work and insights are more relevant than ever.

Gary Marcus is well known as a deep learning critic. A neuroscientist, founder, and the author of Rebooting AI: Building Artificial Intelligence We Can Trust, Marcus believes that researchers need to move past deep learning in order to make true advances in machine intelligence. In 2019, he joined Azeem Azhar to discuss why, how, and when we can expect progress.

They also discussed:

• What newborn ibexes can teach us about intelligence and learning.

• How deep learning promulgates the gap between big companies and startups.

• What we need for a breakthrough in AI.
