Prof Stuart Russell returns to the questions of human control over increasingly capable AI systems. He will argue for the abandonment of the current 鈥渟tandard model鈥� of AI, proposing instead a new model based on three principles鈥攃hief among them the idea that machines should know that they don鈥檛 know what humans鈥� true objectives are. Echoes of the new model are already found in phenomena as diverse as menus, market research, and democracy. Machines designed according to the new model are, Russell suggests, deferential to humans, cautious and minimally invasive in their behaviour and, crucially, willing to be switched off. He will conclude by exploring further the consequences of success in AI for our future as a species.

The lectures will be chaired by presenter, journalist and author, Anita Anand.
