When it comes to artificial intelligence, being at Stanford is like living a few years in the future; the seemingly niche ideas that Stanford students and professors are obsessed with today are likely to be the hottest of hot topics in 2027. Join Professor Christopher Potts as he shares a few striking, very recent examples of this, claiming that each one allows us to glimpse the near future for the field. We’ll close with a meditation on what all this progress means for education, and more broadly for society.
