Peter Norvig on the Breadth of AI Application

Links to recent O'Reilly talk.  Nice to hear Peter Norvig speaking on this, we read and used his early works on AI.  See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Norvig    AI is not just about neural pattern recognition, it can be much, much more.   Almost none of the companies I have surveyed realize this.  Have to believe his management at Google considerably upgrades their Breadth and Depth in AI.

Talk:  The breadth of AI applications: The ongoing expansion
Peter Norvig says one of the most exciting aspects of AI is the diversity of applications in fields far astray from the original breakthrough areas.

This is a keynote highlight from the Artificial Intelligence Conference in San Francisco 2018. Watch the full version of this keynote on O'Reilly's online learning platform.
