Artificial intelligence (AI) is dominating the headlines, but it’s not a new topic here on Exponential View. This week and next, Azeem Azhar shares his favorite conversations with AI pioneers. Their work and insights are more relevant than ever.

For Jürgen Schmidhuber, a recognized pioneer in AI, artificial intelligence is much more than another technological revolution. He sees it as the opportunity to transcend humanity and biology. In this conversation, taped in 2019, Jürgen and Azeem Azhar discuss what the next thirty years of AI will look like.

They also discussed:

The role of Long Short-Term Memory architecture in recent AI breakthroughs.
Why the next AI wave will see machines actively shaping the data that they perceive.
The second- and third-order consequences of bringing these more sophisticated artificial neural networks into our world.
