The rise of artificial intelligence has seen computers beating chess
experts and performing incredibly complex tasks. But why can’t they
think the same way we do?
We have built incredibly powerful, multi-layered, neural networks
capable of learning incredibly quickly and carrying out seemingly
impossible tasks, but they still can’t always tell the difference
between a polar bear and a dishwasher.
In this talk ‘Father of the Internet’ Vint Cerf explores why it is so
challenging for any computer-based system, however elaborate, to
reason in the same way we do.
-----------------

Reviews are mostly enthusiastic.
Example:
what an amazing speaker.. he goes from a simple example, extends on
it, and gently pushes you into the deep end of the pool where you're
swimming in understanding before you even realize that you've just
learned an entirely new way of looking at neural networks.. brilliant!
I love it!
