Superb keynote by Lidong Zhou at the NeurIPS2024 conference in Vancouver, BC (Canada) on how systems thinking can help to overcome AI challenges. Scaling is so important for AI to work, but from a systems point of view, this is scary. #AI #NeurIPS #efficiency #trust #infusion

According to Sepp Hochreiter (Linz) we are now at the end of the scaling up phase of AI. Subsequently, we move into the industrialization phase. Great morning keynote at the NeurIPS2024 conference in Vancouver, BC (Canada) ArtificialIntelligence NeurIPS DeepLearning AI DataScience NeuralNets
