The last five years have witnessed a dramatic resurgence of excitement in the goal of creating intelligent machines. Technology companies are now investing billions of dollars in this field, new research laboratories are springing up around the globe, and competition for talent has become intense. In this Discourse Chris Bishop describes some of the recent technology breakthroughs which underpin this enthusiasm, and explores some of the many exciting opportunities which artificial intelligence offers.
Chris Bishop is the Laboratory Director at Microsoft Research Cambridge and is a professor of computer science at the University of Edinburgh. He has extensive expertise in artificial intelligence and machine learning.
This Discourse was filmed at the Royal Institution on 28 October 2016.

I would love to have the machine learning demo he used (movie recommendation) online. This can be super helpful to explain things to students.

Factual error at 43:57 Claude Shannon established the field of information theory in the 1940s, not the 1920s. Shannon was born in 1916, and published his groundbreaking article in 1948.

Another great lecture from Chris Bishop; not as amazing as his chemistry lectures, yet still worthy. Thanks Chris!
-
Really interesting talk, and person. I like the 360° preparation (physics, for the description of the electromechanical machinery used in the sixties or so, information theory, when he mentioned shannon's theorem and difference between data and information, electronics when he mentioned FPGAs, ... etc). Given the fact that the talk is also about future of AI, after he talked about probability I would have appreciated a small digression on quantum computers.. possibily. CHeers

very clear explanation ..thanks
-
Excellent presentation on AI and Neural Network
-
Thank you, Chris Bishop, for helping me understand what my roboticist son is up to in his computer science classes on pattern recognition, his SLAM work,and his work on ROS, perception and navigation. I still can't talk to him, probably, but I can listen and enjoy some recognition!

OK that was very enjoyable. I learned a few things which I will probably forget in 48 hours but right now I feel smarter. I especially like how Chris really tried to dig down into what is making A.I work now where it has failed so miserably for the past few decades. I have to say I'm grinning ear to ear at all these new videos coming out. They are flooding out now. The world is practically falling over itself to get A.I up and running in a much more advanced way because of the world changing benefits. As Hannibal used to say, I do love it when a plan comes together puts fake cigar in mouth

Great talk, thanks!

Excellent talk

Added To My Research Library, Sharing Through TheTRUTH Network...

During the video he mentions speech recognition AI has reached human-like levels of performance. Remember those automated Youtube captions we all used to laugh at? I suggest you try those captions again. This remarkable progress isn't just academic, it's actually being deployed right now.
-
GREAT overview. Thanks!!
-
I always knew perceptrons were the clue (any brian mimic is) and as well that the brain is basically random connected and it resilient to the lost of neurons. This makes the difference and why ANN are the way used in deepLearning. Brilliant exposition.
-
Brilliant lecture, hugely informative. Thanks for sharing. Although I’d debate the 1920 date mentioned here, for Shannon inventing Information Theory 😉
-
Amazing talks from the experts like always. Free quality knowledge
-
Delighted, thank you for this speech on artificial intelligence research by Chris Bishop .. published by The Royal Institution..!!
-
The Royal Institution... Please solve your microphone/sound issues. Other than that, great speaker as always. Inspiring and much appreciated!
-
This talk artifcialy enhanced my intelligence. cheers*

alpha zero chess games gave some new learning when playing stockfish - it discovered some interesting things about chess
