Images of mathematics/realities of mathematics in AI

- 📍 Venue: Seminar Room 1, Newton Institute
Abstract
Mathematics, or at least, conceptions about mathematics and mathematicians, have been central to the field of artificial intelligence and its analogue fields from its beginnings in the 1940s. While logical reconstructions of pure mathematical activity played a prominent normative role in the early days of symbolic AI, more recent machine learning and now “generative AI” rests far more heavily on large scale computational statistics and linear algebra. This talk considers the diverse mathematics at play in the development of recent AI, both the mathematics in practice and normative images of mathematics in the field, now dramatically different from its early roots.
Series This talk is part of the Isaac Newton Institute Seminar Series series.
