The future of AI depends on us | Francesco Nori | TEDxPadova

With his talk, Francesco Nori explores the impact and nature of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics in people's lives. Through his experience and concrete examples, he illustrates the role each of us plays in shaping the current and future functioning of AI, a technology unique in its kind. Artificial intelligence is not different from other "non-artificial" or biological forms of intelligence. It is formed through interaction with the environment and the people who interact with it.
Born in Padova received his D.Eng. degree from the University of Padova in 2002. He was a member of the UCLA Vision Lab as a visiting student. During this collaboration period he started a research activity in the field of computational vision and human motion tracking. . In the 2006 he moved to Genova and started his PostDoc at the LiraLab. In 2007 Francesco has moved to the Italian Institute of technology where in 2015 he was appointed Tenure Track Researcher of the Dynamic and Interaction Control research line. His research interests are currently focused on whole-body motion control exploiting multiple contacts. He is one of the key researchers involved in the iCub development, with specific focus on control and whole-body force regulation exploiting tactile information. In 2017 joined Deepmind. His current interests seamlessly span robotics and artificial intelligence, with applications in both manipulation and locomotion.; At present is director of robotics at Google Deepmind This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
