Eye On A.I.

#170 Richard Sutton on Pursuing AGI Through Reinforcement Learning


Listen Later

Join host Craig Smith on episode #170 of Eye on AI, for a riveting conversation with Richard Sutton, currently serving as a professor of computing science at the University of Alberta and a research scientist at Keen Technologies.

Sutton is considered one of the founders of modern computational reinforcement learning, having several significant contributions to the field, including temporal difference learning and policy gradient methods.

In this episode, we go through the Alberta Plan for AI development, the transformative potential of reinforcement learning, and the future of AI in augmenting human intelligence.

Richard Sutton shares insights on the importance of computational power, the impact of large language models, and the vision for AI that interacts with the world through goals and learning from its environment. 

We also explore the challenges and opportunities in making AI more embodied and goal-oriented, and how this approach could revolutionize our interaction with technology. 

A must-listen for anyone interested in the cutting-edge advancements in AI and its societal implications.
