IIT2024 Talk – Outsmarting AI with Dr Po-Shen Loh, Jan 13, 2024

Dr Po-Shen Loh, Professor, Carnegie Mellon University & Winning Team USA Coach, International Math Olympiad

The scale of global societal problems looks daunting. One person, or even a small team, is minuscule relative to the number of people who need help. For example, since ChatGPT has exploded onto the scene, our children's future employment prospects (and current educational experience, with ChatGPT-powered cheating) are in existential danger. There is an area close to mathematics, however, which devises solutions in which problems solve themselves even through self-serving human behavior: Game Theory. The speaker will present the new educational ecosystem he invented to rapidly scale the intergenerational human-to-human transfer of what makes us human, powered by combining the worlds of Math and Drama in a new win-win dynamo.
