Ok so good morning everyone.[br]I'll just get started.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
My name is Shailesh and I give these talks[br]almost every year so this is a very

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
deja-vu feeling for me. The only thing[br]different this time is the stage is

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
slightly thinner. But great crowd.[br]Great list of talks so far.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, Daniel called me a couple of weeks[br]ago and said, 'Why don't you give a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
keynote again?' And I said, 'You know, I'm[br]running out of things to say now.'

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I've given four talks at different forums[br]with The Fifth Elephant and I wasn't so

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
sure what I want to talk about. So, then[br]one of these days I was talking to one of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
my non-geek friends and he was very[br]excited about what I do, so he said,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
'What do you do?' and I, you know, it was[br]on the phone and I started talking to him

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
about this, that and the other. And for[br]about 45 minutes I was rambling

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and this guy was very quiet. I didn't[br]realise he wasn't a techie and I was

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
going on and on, and after 45 minutes[br]I stopped and said,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
'Are you still there? Are you listening?'[br]And he said, 'Yeah, I'm listening.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Can you tell me what do you do again?'[br](audience laughs)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And then I realised, how do I summarise[br]this in 2 words?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So then I told him, 'Hey, I'm building[br]thinking machines.'

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And that's when he said, 'Why didn't you[br]say that before.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It was so easy to say that, right?'[br]So that's how the title came by,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and obviously we're not building[br]thinking machines but

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
what I'm going talk about is towards[br]thinking machines, right?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, we have a long way to go. So I[br]added the word 'towards' later.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So what I'm gonna talk about is all over[br]the place. I'm going to talk about

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
philosophy, science fiction. I'm going to[br]talk about algorithms and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'm going to talk about, you know, deep[br]learning and how to think about things

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
beyond deep learning. Alright?[br]And let me give you a perspective

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and then we'll start. So I'll take[br]questions at the end.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
start working this

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
alright, so

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I ended
