Mark Lee

I have degrees in Electrical Engineering and Psychology and have worked in AI, robotics and CS for 40 years. My research explores how robots might learn about the world in the same way that infants build up their understanding in the first few years. This approach (known as Developmental Robotics) contrasts with the Big Data and Deep Learning methods of modern Artificial Intelligence. My recent book, "HOW TO GROW A ROBOT: DEVELOPING HUMAN-FRIENDLY, SOCIAL AI" (MIT Press, 2020) explains these ideas, and their consequences, in detail.
