Michael Jordan and the implications of algorithmic thinking
CS Prof. Michael I. Jordan is featured in This Week in Machine Learning & AI (TWIML AI) Podcast episode #407 titled “What are the Implications of Algorithmic Thinking? with Michael I. Jordan.” He discusses his current exploration into the intersection of economics and AI, and how machine learning systems could be used to create value and empowerment across many industries through “markets.” The interview also touches on the potential of “interacting learning systems” at scale, the valuation of data, and the commoditization of human knowledge into computational systems. Jordan’s career, and the ways it has been influenced by other fields like philosophy, is also explored. Jordan received the 2020 IEEE John von Neumann Medal for “outstanding achievements in computer-related science and technology” earlier this year.
