Why are computers stupid?
Bernhard Schölkopf at the digital children’s university
Schölkopf is a director at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Tübingen, where he heads the Empirical Inference department. In his lecture, he explains why a computer is actually not as smart as people think, how machines “learn,” and what we humans should teach computers.
“When I first started working on machine learning, it was out of a scientific interest in understanding how to recognize structure in data. Technical systems of the future will deal with the complexity of the world by learning from observations. This is a paradigm shift that is universal, from astronomy and climate research to medicine,” says Schölkopf.
