Ilya Sutskever & Lex Fridman - Fireside Chat: The Current State of AI

Lex Fridman, Researcher at MIT and Ilya Sutskever, Chief Scientist at OpenAI sat down at the RE•WORK AI Summit San Francisco earlier this year to discuss their current work and the state of AI. Lex Fridman is a researcher at MIT, working on deep learning approaches in the context of semi-autonomous vehicles, human sensing, personal robotics, and more generally human-centered artificial intelligence systems. He is particularly interested in understanding human behavior in the context of human-robot collaboration, and engineering learning-based methods that enrich that collaboration. Before joining MIT, Lex was at Google working on machine learning for large-scale behavior-based authentication. Ilya Sutskever received his PhD in 2012 from the University of Toronto working with Geoffrey Hinton. After completing his PhD, he cofounded DNNResearch with Geoffrey Hinton and Alex Krizhevsky which was acquired by Google. He is interested in all aspects of neural networks and their applications.
