From artificial intelligence and climate change to geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainty and inequality, these are the global challenges that will shape humanity’s future.
Instead of scientists manually exploring a relatively small number of possibilities, an advanced AI system could evaluate enormous numbers of hypotheses computationally before selecting the most promising candidates for physical testing.
Rather than building an AI system that is extremely good at one particular task, researchers are seeking systems capable of learning, reasoning, adapting, planning, and solving a wide range of intellectual problems with a level of flexibility approaching human intelligence.
We are living through one of the most extraordinary periods in human history. Technology is no longer something that exists outside our daily lives. It has become deeply integrated into the way we communicate, work, learn, travel, shop, entertain ourselves and even understand the world around us.
