At the "Generative AI: Shaping the Future" symposium, kickstarting MIT's Generative AI Week, iRobot co-founder and keynote speaker, Rodney Brooks, warned attendees not to overly idealise the potential of this emerging technology. Both OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard are examples of increasingly powerful tools underpinned by generative AI. Brooks emphasised that the unsubstantiated hype around…
iRobot co-founder and MIT Professor Emeritus, Rodney Brooks, warned about overestimating the capabilities of generative AI during a keynote speech at the "Generative AI: Shaping the Future” symposium. This marked the start of MIT’s Generative AI Week, which aimed to examine the potential of AI tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard.
Generative AI refers to…
Speaking at MIT's "Generative AI: Shaping the Future" symposium, key speaker and iRobot co-founder Rodney Brooks warned against overstating the capabilities of Generative AI, a form of machine-learning that produces new content based on its training data. With examples like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google’s Bard, Brooks cautioned of the consequence of believing that one technology…
Rodney Brooks, co-founder of iRobot and keynote speaker at MIT’s “Generative AI: Shaping the Future” symposium, warned attendees not to overestimate the capabilities of this emerging AI technology. Generative AI is used to create new material by learning from data they were trained on, with applications in art, creativity, functional coding, language translation and realistic…
During the "Generative AI: Shaping the Future" symposium held as part of MIT's Generative AI Week, experts discussed the opportunities and risks of generative AI, a type of machine learning that creates realistic outputs such as images, text, and code. The keynote speaker, Rodney Brooks, co-founder of iRobot and professor emeritus at MIT, warned against…
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) possesses great potential but equally great risks if misused or overestimated, warned Rodney Brooks, co-founder of iRobot, at MIT’s "Generative AI: Shaping the Future" symposium. The event kicked off the university's Generative AI Week on 28 November and attracted hundreds of academia and industry representatives to the institution's Kresge Auditorium. Generative…
At the “Generative AI: Shaping the Future” symposium held on Nov. 28, Rodney Brooks, iRobot co-founder and a keynote speaker, cautioned attendees against overestimating the capabilities of generative AI. Noting that “No one technology has ever surpassed everything else”, Brooks stressed that flippant assumptions about the inferred abilities of generative AI could lead to failure.…
MIT's Generative AI Week began with a symposium on November 28, titled “Generative AI: Shaping the Future”. The keynote speaker was Rodney Brooks, co-founder of iRobot and former director of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at MIT.
During his address, Brooks cautioned against overestimating the capabilities of generative AI, which forms the basis…
In a keynote address at MIT's Generative AI Week on November 28, iRobot co-founder Rodney Brooks highlighted the potential dangers of overestimating the capabilities of generative AI, an emerging technology that supports powerful tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard. He urged that while the technology has significant capabilities, the illusion that it can solve…
At the Generative AI: Shaping the Future symposium, Rodney Brooks, keynote speaker and co-founder of iRobot, cautioned against overestimating the capabilities of Generative AI. The technology supports powerful tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard, but Brooks argued that no single technology ever exceeds all others. He stressed the importance of responsible development and use…
In a recent symposium titled "Generative AI: Shaping the Future", iRobot co-founder Rodney Brooks urged caution regarding the unbridled optimism around generative artificial intelligence (AI). Generative AI uses machine-learning models to generate new material similar to the data it has been trained on, and has proven capable of creative writing, translation, generating code, and creating…
