Scientific symposium for my 65th birthday in Ljubljana, the city of my Alma Mater. Was supposed to happen 3 years ago but COVID messed with it. Tried again but was fended off 😀. Happy and humbled so many of my friends were able to celebrate with me. Thank you for being there.

The University of Toronto made a video for a non technical audience in which I explain how deep learning works, the enormous promise of this technology and some of the potential risks. youtu.be/-9cW4Gcn5WY
