About this Event
Advancements in AI have unleashed astonishing capabilities, but it is not magic. Dr. Peter Stone reveals his insights into cutting-edge AI and robotics and explores how they may reshape our world. Someday these technologies could win the World Cup, and they are already outperforming the best humans at complex tasks like high-speed racing.
Peter Stone serves as the Executive Director of Sony AI America, and as a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Texas at Austin. He is the Director of Texas Robotics, and a founding member of Good Systems, a UT Grand Challenge focusing on ethical and responsible AI. Leading the Learning Agents Research Group within the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, he researches AI, robotics, and machine learning. His work is inspired by real-world challenges with applications including robot soccer, autonomous bidding agents, autonomous vehicles, and Human-Agent Interaction.
