Dr. Yimin Yang uses machine learning knowledge to develop artificial intelligence models
October 10, 2024
Engineering prof Yimin Yang sees the pursuit of artificial intelligence as a long-distance race that everyone is running. “Every stakeholder is in the race, they’re just not sure what’s at the finish line,” he said. “Everyone is either interested or panicked about AI technology — or a mix of both.” Yang lives and works in the middle ground: He worries about the risks of artificial intelligence (AI), especially without more education on how to use it effectively, but he also sees the immense value. “We also have a duty to teach students to understand these topics. They are the future. If they are aware and taught to harness these technologies, maybe there will be complex problems we can solve in 20 or 30 years.” – Yimin Yang, AI researcher and Western engineer professor
