10:10 How will AI impact the climate crisis?
12:12 Can AI generated art ever look like human creativity?
Jonathan Richard Schwarz is a Research Fellow at Harvard University, working on all forms of Efficient Machine Learning and its application to scientific and medical problems. Previously, he was a Senior Research Scientist at Google DeepMind and obtained his PhD from the joint DeepMind-University College London programme, advised by Yee Whye Teh and Peter Latham. His thesis focused on using sparse parameterisations and knowledge transfer for this purpose. Before that, he spent two years at the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit and graduated top-of-the class from The University of Edinburgh.
