Rod Brooks’ EECS Colloquium lecture makes IEEE Spectrum Video Friday

A video of the lecture that MIT Prof. Emeritus Rodney Brooks gave at last week’s EECS Joint Colloquium has made IEEE Spectrum’s Video Friday,  a weekly selection of “awesome robot videos.”  Brooks’ talk,  titled “Steps Toward Super Intelligence and the Search for a New Path,” examines what we might need to do over the next (few) hundred years  to give AI human level–or even super–intelligence.  He questions the assumptions on which the AI field has been built, and whether both AI and neuroscience will need a fundamental reboot in order to make real progress.  Brooks is known for giving “some of the best video talks ever.”
