Provably Beneficial Artificial Intelligence
A Conversation with Stuart Russell
April 26, 2022

As artificial intelligence (AI) advances in capabilities and moves into the real world, its potential to benefit humanity seems limitless. Yet we see serious problems including racial and gender bias, manipulation by social media, and an arms race in lethal autonomous weapons. Looking further ahead, Alan Turing once predicted the eventual loss of human control over machines that exceed human capabilities. Was Turing right to express concern or wrong to think that doom is inevitable? How do we develop a new kind of AI that is provably beneficial to humans?
Stuart Russell, Professor of Computer Science at UC Berkeley and Founding Director of the Center for Human-Compatible Artificial Intelligence (CHAI), is one of the world's leading AI scholars. His book, "Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach," (with Peter Norvig) is the standard text in AI; it has been translated into 13 languages and is used in over 1300 universities in 118 countries.
Professor Russell's research covers a wide range of topics in artificial intelligence including machine learning, probabilistic reasoning, knowledge representation, planning, real-time decision making, multi-target tracking, computer vision, computational physiology, and philosophical foundations. His current concerns include the threat of autonomous weapons and the long-term future of artificial intelligence and its relation to humanity.
