AI or die - with Reinhard Laubenbacher

These days you can’t throw a stone without hitting some form of AI. Whether it’s to control your home sound system, or looking for a novel way to treat disease, we are still in the learning stages of how best to use these technologies.

So Biology in Numbers welcomes back Reinhard Laubenbacher, current SMB president, who talks about some uses in the field, its relevance in education, and why math biologists and the larger scientific community need to get ahead of AI to ensure it is incorporated into research in a meaningful way.

Here’s a useful and pretty primer for anyone completely new to AI: from the BBC. For those interested in that foundational paper by McCulloch and Pitts here’s the link: A logical calculus of the ideas immanent in nervous activity.
