Can computer vision via DL understand the what is in a blank piece of paper? Can NLP via DL understand the sound of silence? Should AI be used to tack and lock down free people ?

Well said. AI extinctionism is neither a weighted consensus from the majority of AI researchers, nor a well founded hypothesis supported by facts and rigorous reasoning. On the contrary, I found AI extinctionism extremely unscientific and exaggerating.

@geoffreyhinton I'd like to respectfully point out that the logic in this argument is based on a flawed model for how scientists think. Scientists don't just take a weighted average of others' opinions to form their own. A good scientist takes as input lots of data, including others' opinions,

The dystopian AI predictions owe more to sensationalism than scientific substance. Read my latest article on World Economic Forum's Agenda where I explain why AIXrisk is baseless, and AI is a catalyst for human advancement rather than a harbinger of doom.

Ignore the doomers: Why AI is the modern-day 'RenAIssance'

AutoML is about help building a full ML system consisting of a pipeline of ML components, rather than just a leaderboard-clearning ML model. #Betty is enabling this through generalized meta-learning (GML) and multilevel optimization (MLO).

@YiMaTweets If ICML/NeurIPS still considers itself to be the “top” ML conference, then it should first reduce the amount of accepted paper to be less than, say, 200, at least fewer than what it considers to be the next tier. Then the number of random submissions will be lot less.

The drumbeat of “existential risk” of AI now goes as far as coining supernatural “god-like AI” to enchant public with sensationalism and doomerism. We should be alarmed by the danger of growing misunderstanding of AI. Here I explain why AIXrisk is baseless

Ignore the doomerists – the artificial intelligence 'RenAIssance' is here

The original Renaissance was defined by a rational, foundational approach to science. The AI era is taking us to an Age of Empowerment

Classical variational inference provides a unified mathematical framework for distributed inference on any multi-variate model, be it data or model parallel, using well-founded concepts such as mean field, belief prop, exp prop. Best for decentralized and inhomogeneous settings.

While classic FL is treated as a distributed optimization problem, recent work (FedPA) showed that FL can be cast as a posterior inference problem. We extend this view by treating FL as a VI problem, which naturally suggests new algorithms. #ICLR2023
