Blaise Agüera y Arcas is a VP and Fellow at Google Research, where he leads an organization working on both basic research and new products in AI. His focus is on augmentative, privacy-first, and collectively beneficial applications, including on-device ML for Android phones, wearables, and the Internet of Things. One of the team’s technical contributions is Federated Learning, an approach to training neural networks in a distributed setting that avoids sharing user data. In response to his recent article ‘Can Machines Learn How to Behave?’ - AI value alignment: whether and how AIs can be imbued with human values, we will explore through open discussion what these technologies can offer an Interspecies Internet.
