Speaker: Ingrid Daubechies
The presentation will review many examples, from the speaker's own career as well as in the fields of focus for this year's Hudson Forum, illustrating the continuing importance of mathematics in science, technology and culture.
Jerry Chow, Sarah Sheldon, Michael Biercuk, Travis Humble, Sabrina Maniscalco
Following an overview of the state of the art in quantum computing, the panel will discuss quantum algorithm development and near-term use cases with potential for quantum advantage. Quantum computers are becoming a tool for scientific discovery, and experimentation on today’s systems is charting the path towards commercial value.
Fyodor Urnov, Mandana Arbab
Yann LeCun
There are four essential characteristics of human intelligence that current AI systems don’t possess: reasoning, planning, persistent memory, and understanding the physical world. Once we have systems with such capabilities, it will still take a while before we bring them up to human level.
David Cox, Shirley Ho, Surya Ganguli, Tess Smidt, Alex Rives
AI is revolutionizing science, opening new vistas for discovery across a range of fields, from biology to astrophysics. The panel will explore how recent AI advances are shaping the nature of scientific inquiry today, and project forward to the opportunities that lie ahead.
Rafa Yuste, Eddie Chang
We will discuss recent advances in neurotechnology, reviewing successes in the decoding of inner language, emotions, and facial gestures from humans, as well as the increasing potential for mental augmentation.
Darío Gil
We are living a special time in computing, a time when innovations in semiconductors continue to reduce energy consumption or enable more sophisticated calculations, when unprecedented levels of community activity are defining the future of AI as one based on open innovation, and when the accelerated growth of quantum computing is starting to demonstrate utility well beyond small experiments. Join me in an exploration of where each of these technologies is going this decade and what awaits at their intersection.
