Why AI Thinks You’re A Toaster (and why you should care)

Abstract:

This talk is an accessible introduction to computer vision, adversarial examples, and the importance of recognizing the difference between how people and machines perceive the world.

This talk is open to beginners, but should provide interesting examples and ideas to chew on, even for folks with experience in ML and computer vision.

Learn about:

- convolutional neural networks, a type of deep learning for analyzing images

- challenges of incorporating automated decision-making into human environments

- exciting experiments in fooling AI systems and implications for privacy and human rights
