ME News message, March 30 (UTC+8), artificial intelligence pioneer Jürgen Schmidhuber will deliver a lecture titled "Lectio Magistralis" in Turin on March 31, 2026. According to the article, the lecture will review and look forward to the past, present, future, and distant future of machine learning and artificial intelligence, covering Schmidhuber's foundational contributions in areas such as generative artificial intelligence (like GAN, Transformer, self-supervised pre-training, neural network distillation), LSTM, Highway Net, meta-learning, and neural AI. The article suggests that the lecture will place the development of AI in the context of cosmic history and look forward to AI transitioning from virtual to reality, evolving into physical AI for real robots, ultimately forming autonomous machine civilization, while in the short term, it will make human life longer, healthier, and easier.
