"Old school" vs. "new school" artificial intelligence

Prof. Jan Scholtes of the University of Maastricht and CSO at ZyLAB today presented a lecture at the Raad van State (the Dutch Council of State), entitled "Artificial Intelligence and Law". The lecture focuses on "Machine Learning" as the new search. The theme, also used in a series of four blogs, elaborates on the "Big Data and Data Science training" that Prof. Scholtes, together with Prof. van den Herik of the Leiden Center of Data Science (LDCS), provides to a group of 20 Dutch judges. In his lecture, Prof. Scholtes emphasizes the recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Especially compared to the first developments of AI almost 70 years ago, things are accelerating rapidly.
