Rise of the Machines

Dr. Michael Littman, professor of computer science and co-leader of Brown University’s Humanity-Centered Robotics Initiative. He works mainly in reinforcement learning, but has done work in machine learning, game theory, computer networking, partially observable Markov decision process solving, computer solving of analogy problems and other areas. Dr. Littman talks about how unlikely it is for Artificial intelligence and robotics to replace humans in everyday activities.
