Professor Aleksander Madry SM ’09, PhD ’11 The incredible progress on artificial intelligence (AI) over the past decade has turned yesterday's sci-fi dreams into today's (almost mundane) realities. So, just what is today's cutting-edge AI capable of? What's been driving its rapid evolution? In this talk, we will dive into these questions. We will also discuss the impact this technology has on our world and society, and what we can (and should) do to ensure this impact is a positive one.
Aleksander Madry SM ’09, PhD ’11, director of the MIT Center for Deployable Machine Learning and Cadence Design Systems Professor of Computing, will explore the risks and opportunities of artificial intelligence. Madry recently testified to Congress about how artificial intelligence tools are being used by corporations.

Have you ever heard of a winker using a squidger to pot a wink? Do you understand the challenge presented by a nurdle and the risk of being squopped out? If so, you may be an aficionado of tiddlywinks, a tabletop game in which small colored disks (squidgers) are used to propel other, smaller disks (winks) into a cup.
Tournament tiddlywinks can be fiercely competitive—and MIT alumni have been at the highest ranks of the game for decades. Top player (aka winker) Larry Kahn ’75, SM ’76 holds 24 world championship titles in singles competition and 20 in pairs.
Kahn and his friends David Lockwood ’75 and Rick Tucker ’80 (both of whom have also won championship titles at various levels) all trace their passion for the game back to MIT, where they joined the then-thriving tiddlywinks club.
