Speaker: Prof. Laurent Charlin.
In this presentation, I discuss the field of AI with a focus on some of its recent advances.
First, I frame AI as the most recent tool we developped following a long line of technological advancements.
I then present a selection of AI systems and discuss the distinction between narrow and broader or more versatile systems.
These ideas will be exemplified using concrete usecases. Finally, I discuss possible future developments of this technology including its impact, limitations, and ethical considerations.
