Os riscos e os limites do avanço da computação – Observatório Itaú Cultural (2019)

By assuming that computer decisions can be better than our own, we challenge the position of humans as the only thinking creatures in the universe. Can neurons do what a computer does? Michael Resch, director of the Center for High Performance Computing at the University of Stuttgart, Germany, reflects on machine intelligence and the benefits, risks, and limits of computing advancement, including its impact on education, professions, and human abilities. Recorded statement from the seminar "The Machine, Intelligence, and Disintelligence: Utopia and Entropy in Sight," held at Itaú Cultural in São Paulo, São Paulo, in November 2018. Video with audio in English and subtitles in Portuguese. Other videos from the Itaú Cultural Observatory Bulletin: https://bit.ly/boletimoic.
