Drones, driverless cars, robots that look and think like human… May intelligent systems really pose a threat to humans one day? Mateja addresses this question from a scientific perspective and talks about how the enormous amounts of data we have today can possibly allow machines to think indistinguishably from a human. She argues her faith in artificial intelligence as a supportive and effective system in the hands of human experts.

Mateja is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory. Having previously held an EPSRC Advanced Research Fellowship, Mateja is definitely disrupting that typical gender stereotype of a scientist in artificial intelligence. As a founder of women@CL she reminds all how important is to celebrate the gender diversity and help women aspire to leadership positions in both academia and in.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    tell your kids "go play in the freeway" because just like A.I. "what could possibly go wrong?"

    Will AI be able to find human-favorable solutions to the problems of threats imposed by AI? And can those solutions be trusted? (AI might lead us astray intentionally so it can ultimately defeat us.)

    Her speech hardly proves a point/answers the question asked.

    This woman have not contributed to AI field much, just there taking up a spot. Cambridge have not produced many useful scientific contribution to science for a long time. Why do people still hold this university in "high regards". This presenter have not given any meaningful insight to AI. Which is inline with Cambridge's academic ability, just an old name with no new contributions.
