CARTA: Artificial Intelligence and Anthropogeny - Learning by Experimenting: Continually Evolving Machines with Pulkit Agrawal

March 31, 2023 21:00 - 23 minutes - 198 MB Video

Evolution always presented life forms with new challenges -- due to changes in weather, terrain, competition between different organisms, and other reasons. To increase the chance of survival, instead of solely optimizing current performance, it is in an agent's interest to maximize its ability to adapt to changes. Possibly this old evolutionary trait manifests itself in modern humans in their ability to adapt to new tasks and challenges quickly. Even if we consider a lifetime of a human, the...

For the People? Representative Government in America

March 13, 2023 21:00 - 1 hour - 1.38 GB Video
