034 - Guest: Michael Wooldridge, Oxford University Professor, part 1

This and all episodes at: https://aiandyou.net/ .   My guest this week is Michael Wooldridge, head of the Oxford University Computer Science department and author of A Brief History of Artificial Intelligence, an introductory look at AI, published last month by Flatiron Books. He's been working on AI for 30 years and specializes in multi-agent systems, which we talk about. He's written over 400 articles and nine books, including the Ladybird Expert Guide to Artificial Intelligence. We cover a huge amount of ground, from the changes in AI to ways of judging artificial general intelligence, to challenges that AI faces in dealing with the real world. All this plus our usual look at today's AI headlines.  Here's the link to my live class mentioned in the episode: https://bit.ly/UVicAIandYou Transcript and URLs referenced at HumanCusp Blog.
