  1. The MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab New Research Directions

  2. The Mission of the AI Lab • To answer: How does the human mind work? • Where does the mind reside? • What is the nature of memory? • What are the roles of emotions? • What sort of representations does the brain use? • What does our visual system compute? • How did evolution shape us? • How do we learn? • What is consciousness?

  3. What Do We Really Do? • Try to build intelligent systems • often application driven • can be internally motivated (faculty or students) • can be motivated by sponsors • Always try to do intellectually exciting things • Put things together in larger scale ways than others might dare • “way cool” to do so • get to explore (first) different aspects of intellectual space than others might be stuck in
