AIhub coffee corner: AI thanksgiving

This month, we take a look at all the things we are thankful for in the AI community. Joining the discussion this time are: Tom Dietterich (Oregon State University), Sabine Hauert (University of Bristol), Holger Hoos (Leiden University), Sarit Kraus (Bar-Ilan University), Michael Littman (Brown University) and Carles Sierra (Artificial Intelligence Research Institute of the Spanish National Research Council). Holger Hoos: I think one can be really grateful that progress in AI has come at a point where we really need it. I think we've maneuvered ourselves as humankind into a situation where the limitations of our own natural intelligence make it very likely that we're going to drive ourselves against the wall. Issues such as climate change are simply too complex for us to figure out, even if you bring lots of smart people together and give them lots of resources.
