Efficiency, Resilience, and Artificial IntelligenceMoshe Vardi, Rice University. Tuesday, February 11, 6pm, SLB 129
In both computer science and economics, efficiency is a cherished property. Thefield of algorithms is almost solely focused on their efficiency. The goal of AI research is to increase efficiency by reducing human labor. In economics, the main advantage of the free market is that it promises "economic efficiency". A major lesson from many recent disasters is that both fields have over-emphasized efficiency and under-emphasized resilience. I argue that resilience is a more important property than efficiency and discuss how the two fields can broaden their focus to make resilience a primary consideration. I will conclude by raising serious questions on the goal of the AI research program.
It's not my team, but it seems like an intriguing tool for studying, e.g. upload all the lecture notes/problem sets and then ask it to quiz you or generate a practice exam. Ask the LLM your points of confusion. Ask it to create a podcast about the notes for when you're on your run.
