In this conversation, I speak with Professor from University of Austin Professor Peter Stone about the multifaceted nature of artificial intelligence (AI), its historical evolution, and its implications for society. We discuss the importance of understanding AI, the role of research in its development, the potential for job displacement, and the necessity of AI literacy for future generations. The conversation emphasizes the need for a balanced perspective on AI's capabilities and limitations, as well as the importance of preparing students to engage with AI responsibly.
Peter is the Chief Scientist of Sony AI. He is also the founder and director of the Learning Agents Research Group (LARG) within the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in the Department of Computer Science at The University of Texas at Austin, as well as associate department chair and Director of Texas Robotics.
