Remzi Arpaci-Dusseau, Director UW School of Computer, Data and Information Sciences (CDIS), shared how the UW is advancing AI.
“The term AI is actually older than computer science,” Arpaci-Dusseau said. “The idea couldn’t advance until there was the computing power and speed to carry it out.”
Arpaci-Dusseau says he sees their work growing from a department to a college, bridging all colleges/schools with three impacts: technology, applications, and society/policy.
“Steve Jobs once said computers are a bicycle, making the mind more efficient. Our challenge is teaching students to multiply impact, yet know the underlying infrastructure to recognize good answers.”
