The following is a conversation with Leonard Susskind.

He's a professor of theoretical physics at Stanford University

and founding director of Stanford Institute of theoretical physics.

He is widely regarded as one of the fathers of strength theory

and in general, as one of the greatest physicists of our time,

both as a researcher and an educator.

This is the Artificial Intelligence podcast.

Perhaps you notice that the people I've been speaking with

are not just computer scientists,

but philosophers, mathematicians, writers,

psychologists, physicists, and soon other disciplines.

To me, AI is much bigger than deep learning,

bigger than computing.

It is our civilization's journey into understanding the human mind

and creating echoes of it in the machine.
