Judea Pearl: Advice for Students | AI Podcast Clips
00:00:00.000 | - Do you have advice for young minds today
00:00:03.780 | dreaming about creating, as you have dreamt,
00:00:07.560 | creating intelligent systems?
00:00:09.240 | What is the best way to arrive at new breakthrough ideas
00:00:12.760 | and carry them through the fire of criticism
00:00:15.200 | and past conventional ideas?
00:00:18.400 | - Ask your questions.
00:00:21.340 | Really, your questions are never done.
00:00:29.000 | And solve them your own way.
00:00:30.760 | And don't take no for an answer.
00:00:34.060 | If they are really dumb, you will find out quickly
00:00:39.740 | by trying an arrow to see that they're not leading
00:00:42.520 | any place.
00:00:43.780 | But follow them and try to understand things your way.
00:00:48.780 | That is my advice.
00:00:52.960 | I don't know if it's gonna help anyone.
00:00:55.360 | - No, that's brilliant.
00:00:56.880 | - There is a lot of inertia in science, in academia.
00:01:01.880 | It is slowing down science.
00:01:08.820 | - Yeah, those two words, your way, that's a powerful thing.
00:01:14.720 | It's against inertia, potentially.
00:01:17.480 | Against the flow.
00:01:18.320 | - Against your professor.
00:01:20.000 | - Against your professor.
00:01:21.800 | - I wrote the book of why in order to democratize
00:01:26.200 | common sense.
00:01:27.320 | (laughing)
00:01:30.000 | In order to instill rebellious spirit in students
00:01:35.000 | so they wouldn't wait until the professor
00:01:40.080 | get things right.
00:01:41.300 | - So you wrote the manifesto of the rebellion
00:01:47.960 | against the professor.
00:01:49.640 | - Against the professor, yes.
