How did machine learning get to this amazingly successful point? My new podcast tells the story of the field with the help of a dozen major contributors such as @geoffreyhinton , @ylecun , @RichardSSutton , @tdietterich and others. youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…

Wow! This is a *must-watch* for anybody interested in modern AI today and where it's going, with talks from rockstars—that include 3 Turing Award winners (Dana Scott being the 4th in attendance!)—on topics such as: AI safety (Ron Rivest), using AI in research and improving reliability (Les Valiant, @WittedNote, @adamfungi), theoretical guarantees on learnability in today's systems & the role of theory going forward (Maria-Florina Balcan, @tommmitchell, @Aaroth), AI consciousness (@BlumLenore & Manuel Blum), and many more!
Happy birthday Avrim Blum!
At @SimonsInstitute this week: The Role of TCS in Modern Machine Learning, a workshop on the interplay of theory and AI. Co-organized by MLD professor Maria-Florina Balcan (Nina) and features @tommmitchell among many other field-defining scientists.

One of the very first AI agent models of human cognition was the SOAR system in the 1980s. Co-inventor @john_e_laird describes the effort, and his follow-on research over 40 years to understand human intelligence through AI agent models. Check it out! youtube.com/watch?v=YP2YbF93…
the future of machine learning is changing as we invent new ML algorithms that use LLMs as subroutines. See my talk "Theory and Modern Machine Learning" from Tuesday, at @SimonsInstitute at @UCBerkeley youtube.com/live/h8XjsIu2T34…
AI to accelerate science? Hot topic today, but when did machine learning first discover results worth publishing in a scientific journal? Hear from the person who did it - Stanford’s Bruce Buchanan in the 1970’s. Today’s new podcast episode. youtube.com/watch?v=nZNCjf-W…

Jensen Huang, Founder and CEO of @nvidia, will serve as Carnegie Mellon’s 2026 Commencement keynote speaker and will receive an Honorary Doctor of Science and Technology.
My conversation with Kai-Fu Lee @kaifulee — former president of Google China, and currently a leading VC investing in AI in China. Kai-Fu also discusses his pioneering contributions to machine learning for speech recognition, starting as a PhD student! youtube.com/watch?v=jyvsnXos…
How do artificial neural networks in AI relate to real neural networks in the brain? Hear it from Jay McClelland who has spent decades studying this question, and who helped launch neural networks as a machine learning approach in the 1980s. youtube.com/watch?v=GArl9AZd…

U.S. President Donald Trump has fired all 24 members of the National Science Board, the body that oversees the National Science Foundation. Many science advocates see it as the latest step by his administration to erode—some would say destroy—the independence of the 76-year-old research agency. scim.ag/4eGM0YS

When @DaphneKoller wanted to see her machine learning research make a real-world impact, she left academia to build @insitro.
Her conversation with @tommmitchell on probabilistic models, AI in biotech, and more is our latest podcast episode!

Congratulations to everybody funded by the newly announced @LaudeInstitute moonshot program. I'm proud to have been part of the selection committee -- this is an amazing set of moonshot efforts. xitter.cf/LaudeInstitute/status/…
We asked the best AI researchers in the world one question: if you had the resources, how would you use AI to solve humanity's hardest problems?
Today we're sharing what came back.

1980s self driving vehicles based on neural networks ?!?!? It’s true — hear the history directly from the person who made it happen: Dean Pomerleau on today’s newest podcast episode.

New podcast episode for you!
The field of Statistics enters the Machine Learning conversation, as @tommmitchell talks with Michael I. Jordan of @inria_paris!

Disgraceful!
The US/Israel just bombed Sharif University in Tehran. This is not only Iran's best university, but also a top 100 global university in the field of Civil Engineering.
It has also been a center of student opposition to the Iranian gov
And Trump just bombed it...
Machine learning versus statistics? Not much overlap before the 1990s, but hear the history on how they came together from Michael Jordan. Today's podcast episode. youtube.com/watch?v=BfBxS2rE…
