From Prediction to Play

Reinforcement learning (RL) — a Machine Learning (ML) process that dynamically adapts through trial and error — is quietly powering the next chapter of AI. Such mind-bending breakthroughs will transform the ways in which AI impacts the future of game play across both virtual and physical worlds. Join President of Sony AI, Michael Spranger, who is a creator, technologist and artist himself, to discover why RL is essential for building truly autonomous, intelligent systems, and explore how today’s breakthroughs are laying the groundwork for the next wave of transformative AI. Michael will also reflect on the importance of human-centric, fair and accountable approaches to grounding breakthrough technologies in ethical, equitable design.
