After decades leading AI research at NASA, Google, and Stanford, Peter Norvig has watched artificial intelligence advance at an incredible pace, often without enough consideration for the people it’s meant to serve. While the systems grew better at optimizing algorithms, far less focus was placed on fairness, human agency, and real-world impact. That realization led Peter to champion a more human-centered approach to AI.

Now on Spotify Video!
