Keynote: There's no I in AI (yet) (slides as HTML)
Abstract: There's no intelligence in current AI systems, but apparently we think there is, and then get surprised when it gives wrong answers.
Why is this, and what will happen when we get real intelligent systems?
This talk gives an introduction to AI as we currently know it, examines how we interact with it, and envisions the consequences of real AI emerging.
