Assemble motors, sensors and microchips together and teach them to do a job for you: how do you teach a machine?
This is the theme of the new installment of Dreambot, the podcast series that gives a voice to the women and men who transform robots from dreams into reality.
Guest is Simone Scardapane, researcher at Sapienza University of Rome and co-founder of the Italian Association for Machine Learning.
Machine learning, deep learning, artificial intelligence, are increasingly common terms when it comes to innovation but we always tend to project them towards a distant future.
It often escapes how much these elements are actually already a very relevant present in our digital lives and beyond.
We think of the intelligent classification of emails as SPAM or of audio or video streaming platforms that suggest new artists or new series that we might like.
Features that are simple to the user but hide complex algorithms that use machine learning techniques to refine their accuracy.
The episode dedicated to Artificial Intelligence starts from these concrete examples to guide us to the understanding of a world that is already among us.
A brief overview in the world of artificial intelligence starting from the successes achieved by Deep Mind and the very recent GPT3 to the fears related to the loss of control of increasingly complex and intelligent software.
