AI Experts Answer Your Questions
AI experts answer your questions! Your questions will be submitted to these guests and a video will be recorded with their answers and posted on the Interactive AI Magazine and in the weekly AI Alert.
For our third AMA, we have Dr. Ashok Goel, a Professor in the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Institute of Technology and the Chief Scientist with Georgia Tech’s Center for 21st Century Universities. He conducts research into cognitive systems at the intersection of AI and cognitive science with a focus on computational design and creativity, and recently, also on AI in education and education in AI. During 2016-2021, he was the Editor-in-Chief of AAAI’s AI Magazine and led the launch of the Interactive AI Magazine. He is a Fellow of AAAI and a recipient of AAAI’s Outstanding AI Educator Award. Ashok is the Executive Director of the NSF’s National AI Institute for Adult Learning and Online Education.
For our second AMA, we have Prof. Toby Walsh, an ARC Laureate Fellow and Scientia Professor of AI at UNSW and CSIRO Data61, and adjunct professor at QUT. He is a strong advocate for limits to ensure AI is used to improve our lives, having spoken at the UN, and to heads of state, parliamentary bodies, company boards and many other bodies on this topic. He is a Fellow of the Australia Academy of Science, and was named on the international “Who’s Who in AI” list of influencers. He has authored two books on AI for a general audience, the most recent entitled “2062: The World that AI Made”.
For our first AMA, we have the co-editors of AI Magazine, Drs. Brent Venable and Odd Erik Gundersen.
