Will Artificial Intelligence Help Us Out of This Mess?

David Silver leads the deep reinforcement learning group at Deep Mind and is the lead programmer of the team that created Alpha Go and Alpha Zero that defeated the World Go Champion. Lex Fridman teaches artificial intelligence at M.I.T and believes Alpha Zero is one of the most important accomplishments in the history of artificial intelligence.

I found this one of the most fascinating interviews I have seen in a long time. Alpha Zero is such a pivotal advance in science. At 1:17:50 David shares how he came up with the algorithm for Alpha Zero. While this dialog is not directly related to COVID-19 it does provide a powerful insight on one of the most brilliant minds on the planet.
