Looking into the Future of Artificial Intelligence

Jürgen, it's a privilege to have you here as one of the pioneers of artificial intelligence and, more specifically, deep learning--its hottest field right now. Before you go into all of those fields, we would like to understand the person Jürgen Schmidhuber better. Perhaps you can tell us a few things that you're particularly proud of in your career. One of the things I'm proud of: I think I understand what it means to be curious and how to implement curiosity, which I think is essential to build agents that learn from experience through their own self-generated experiments. Agents who are motivated to invent, in a directed way, action sequences or experiments that lead to data that tell them something about how the world works that they didn't know yet.
