The Last, Unanticipated, and Politically Incorrect Step
Toward Genuine Machine Intelligence

Stephen Thaler

Thaler will discuss an extremely controversial neural network patent that must inevitably form the foundation of advanced machine intelligence, the "Creativity Machine Paradigm." Pointing out the shortcomings of traditional AI approaches, he will outline how this new technology complements and extends the present state of the art to allow machines to self-originate novel ideas and plans of action.

He will also light-heartedly relate the trail of dissent and misconceptions that has followed in the wake of this paradigm's discovery and implementation. Finally, he concludes the presentation with compelling technology demonstrations designed to stimulate, inspire, and hopefully persuade young computer science majors to work with his rapidly growing company.
