Stanford The Future of Artificial Intelligence Emerging Topics and Societal Benefit A Partner Event of the 2016 Global Entrepreneurship Summit Hosted by The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and Stanford University June 23, 2016 5:30–9:30 p.m. Paul Brest Hall 555 Salvatierra Walk Stanford University ABOUT THIS EVENT Welcome to The Future of Artificial Intelligence Partner Event of the 2016 Global Entrepreneurship Summit at Stanford University. Today leading artificial intelligence (AI) researchers will discuss the most impactful research topics in AI and highlight the challenges and potentials of artificial intelligence. There is a lot of excitement about AI and how to create computers capable of intelligent behavior. After years of steady but slow progress on making computers “smarter” at everyday tasks, a series of breakthroughs in the research community and industry have recently spurred momentum and investment in the development of this field. There is a sense that AI has made sufficient inroads into everyday life that we should pause and take stock of the great opportunities and challenges before us. We are aware of self- driving cars, intelligent assistants on phones and mobile devices, and the use of data for many activities in academia, government and industry. Now is a good time to think about the anticipated evolution of these capabilities and how they might impact economic, social, political and cultural activities. We look forward to engaging with you about how best to harness the innovations and the array of considerations brought by artificial intelligence.

Dr. Altman is board certified in Internal Medicine and in Clinical Informatics. Altman is the faculty director of the 100 year study of Artificial Intelligence (ai100.stanford.edu). https://profiles.stanford.edu/russ-altman Finale Doshi-Velez Assistant Professor, Harvard University Finale Doshi-Velez leads the Data to Actionable Knowledge group at the Harvard Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Science. She completed her Ph.D. from MIT and her postdoc at Harvard Medical School. She was a Marshall Scholar at the University of Cambridge and was named one of IEEE’s “AI Top 10 to Watch” in 2013. Doshi-Velez is excited about methods to turn data into actionable knowledge. Her core research in machine learning, computational statistics, and data science is inspired by—and often applied to—the objective of accelerating scientific progress and practical impact in healthcare and other domains. https://www.seas.harvard.edu/directory/finale John C. Duchi Assistant Professor of Statistics and Electrical Engineering, Stanford University John C. Duchi completed his Ph.D. in computer science at Berkeley in 2014. His research interests are a bit eclectic, and they span statistics, computation, optimization, and machine learning. At Berkeley, he worked in the Statistical Artificial Intelligence Lab (SAIL) under the joint supervision of Michael Jordan and Martin Wainwright. He obtained his master’s degree (MA) in statistics in Fall 2012. He was also an undergrad and a master’s student at Stanford University, where he worked with Daphne Koller in her research group, DAGS. He also spends some time at Google Research, where he had (and continue to have) the great fortune to work with Yoram Singer. https://profiles.stanford.edu/john-duchi Stefano Ermon Assistant Professor of Computer Science, Stanford University Stefano Ermon is Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Stanford University, where he is affiliated with the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and a fellow of the Woods Institute for the Environment. Ermon received his Bachelors and Master’s degrees in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the Università degli Studi di Padova and he completed his Ph.D. in computer science at Cornell in 2014. His research is centered on techniques for scalable and accurate inference in graphical models, statistical modeling of data, large-scale combinatorial optimization, and robust decision making under uncertainty, and is motivated by a range of applications, in particular ones in the emerging field of computational sustainability. Stefano has won several awards, including two Best Student Paper Awards, one Runner-Up Prize, and a McMullen Fellowship. https://cs.stanford.edu/~ermon/ Dieter Fox Professor of Computer Science, University of Washington Dieter Fox is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington, Seattle, where he heads the UW Robotics and State Estimation Lab.
