Tim Rocktäschel's Inaugural Lecture on Open-Endedness and General Intelligence - 2024.
About Tim Rocktäschel's Inaugural Lecture
Professor Tim Rocktäschel (Professor of Artificial Intelligence) talks about his research towards developing increasingly capable and general Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Central to this research direction is Open-Endedness: the attempt to create an AI that endlessly improves and expands its capabilities.
In particular, this lecture focuses on three areas: training autonomous and robust agents that can set themselves problems and goals, training large-scale world models which can provide AIs with endless environments to learn in, and lastly, the connection of Open-Endedness methods to Large Language Models to develop AI that can improve itself.
