AI, evolution and mathematical models

In this podcast, Greta Braun talks to Torbjörn Lundh about AI, evolution and mathematical models. Torbjörn works with biomathematics, is particularly interested in models for vascular surgery, morphogenesis, artificial life, species formation, game theory and evolutionary processes in general. He is Vice Dean for the Faculty of Science at the University of Gothenburg, where he is responsible for collaboration. Torbjörn is involved in many different AI contexts and is also a co-founder and inventor of GraftCraft AB and PressCise AB, startups that work with biology linked to mathematical models.

Torbjörn compares AI with evolution, which in us humans has made us evolve. Artificial intelligence works in the same way, where the neural network learns in the meantime by being rewarded when it does something right. Torbjörn has a large network with various universities, where he talks to researchers at Stanford, Harvard and Oxford University, among others. They also discuss how AI should be used from an ethical perspective and how data sets are created by annotating large amounts of images.
