MIT’s Pulkit Agrawal - Artificial Intelligence: Friend or Foe?
Should AI be feared or welcomed? Humankind is still in a quandary on this issue.
Best to speak to the experts then, in the form of Pulkit Agrawal, who is an Assistant Professor at MIT, building Artificial Intelligence and Fundamental Interaction systems for commercial application.
His areas of study include robotics, computer vision, artificial intelligence and reinforcement learning.
