Artificial intelligence is no longer a futuristic promise—it’s the infrastructure of everyday life.  Our phones finish our sentences, our cars guess where we’re going, and our search engines quietly learn what we care about.  But beneath the hype, there is something interesting happening: we’re trying to understand a new kind of intelligence while it grows up in real time.

The Salt Spring Forum is pleased to welcome a leading expert who can explain how AI actually works!

Kevin Leyton-Brown is Professor of Computer Science and Director of Centre for AI Decision-making and Action at the University of British Columbia. He has been a visiting professor at UC Berkeley, Harvard University, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and Microsoft Research New York City.

Professor Leyton-Brown’s work blends mathematics, computation, and behavioural insight to reveal what these systems can deliver. He advises leading companies while participating in global conversations around responsible AI.
