Ok so good morning everyone.
I'll just get started.
-
Not Synced
My name is Shailesh and I give these talks
almost every year so this is a very
-
Not Synced
deja-vu feeling for me. The only thing
different this time is the stage is
-
Not Synced
slightly thinner. But great crowd.
Great list of talks so far.
-
Not Synced
So, Daniel called me a couple of weeks
ago and said, 'Why don't you give a
-
Not Synced
keynote again?' And I said, 'You know, I'm
running out of things to say now.'
-
Not Synced
I've given four talks at different forums
with The Fifth Elephant and I wasn't so
-
Not Synced
sure what I want to talk about. So, then
one of these days I was talking to one of
-
Not Synced
my non-geek friends and he was very
excited about what I do, so he said,
-
Not Synced
'What do you do?' and I, you know, it was
on the phone and I started talking to him
-
Not Synced
about this, that and the other. And for
about 45 minutes I was rambling
-
Not Synced
and this guy was very quiet. I didn't
realise he wasn't a techie and I was
-
Not Synced
going on and on, and after 45 minutes
I stopped and said,
-
Not Synced
'Are you still there? Are you listening?'
And he said, 'Yeah
-
Not Synced
and he said yeah I'm listening uh
-
Not Synced
can you tell me what do you do again
-
Not Synced
and then I realized
-
Not Synced
you know.. how do I summarize this in 2 words
-
Not Synced
so then I told him.. I'm building thinking machines
-
Not Synced
and that's when he said why didn't you say that before
-
Not Synced
it was so easy to say that, right?
-
Not Synced
so that's how the title came by
-
Not Synced
and.. obviously we're not building thinking machines
-
Not Synced
what I'm gonna talk about this towards thinking machines, right
-
Not Synced
so.. we have a long way to go
-
Not Synced
so???????
-
Not Synced
what I'm gonna talk about is
-
Not Synced
-
Not Synced
I'm gonna talk about philosophy, science fiction,
-
Not Synced
I'll talk about algorithms
-
Not Synced
and I'm gonna talk about.. you know, deep learning and how to think about things beyond deep learning
-
Not Synced
alright
-
Not Synced
so let me tell you a perspective and then we'll start
-
Not Synced
so I'll take questions at the end..
-
Not Synced
start working this
-
Not Synced
alright, so
-
Not Synced
I ended
