My name is Doina Precup and I head DeepMind
Montréal, a research organization here in
Montréal.
My message today, on behalf of DeepMind and
myself, is to be really careful in terms of
inclusiveness, especially in terms of including
women in the progress we are currently making.
Technological progress needs diversity and
ideas.
A diverse population thinks differently.
That’s why it’s important to find ways
of including them in this process that are
maybe not typical or stereotypical ways.
Artificial intelligence, my area of specialization,
is a technology that can really have an impact
in a lot of fields, like health, education
and industry, too.
It will, in a way, change what we’re doing
now.
What we need is a population that is well
education in this field so that we can really
move this technology forward and put them
into practice.
In my opinion, the most important thing is
to have, in the education system, the opportunity
to put logical thinking education and the
ethical use of technology education into practice.
