  • Wezimann Magazine Spring 2017
    SPRING 2018 No. 13 Artificial Intelligence Are we outsmarting ourselves? Prof. Ruth Arnon’s one-shot strategy Sami and Tova Sagol From the President Dear Friends, Technology has vastly changed the way we live our lives today, as compared to several decades ago—or even five years ago. It has revolutionized the way we work, how our medical ailments are diagnosed, how our cars keep us safe, and the way in which scientific research is conducted. But what if this revolution is just the beginning? The age of artificial intelligence—which integrates a deep understanding of how the human brain works with feats of computer engineering—is perhaps just at the starting gate. In launching a new Institute for Artificial Intelligence, the Weizmann Institute is creating a platform for our scientists to invent, plan for, and safely steward in the coming age of AI—ensuring that the next age of computer science will do good for humanity, and preclude a dystopian world in which machines replace humans in all areas of life. You may read about our efforts in AI in this issue, among many other exciting developments in science. I would also like to turn your attention to stories on Sami and Tova Sagol, who recently generously Credits funded the new Sagol Institute for Longevity Research and are funding a new collaboration with A publication of the Department of Resource Development MIT; and on Ted Teplow and David Teplow, who have their own personal ties with the Institute—and a very Editorial staff special family connection to its very origins.
