Benoit Schillings: Breaking the Wall to Invention Machines
Benoit Schillings on how overcoming human biases leads us to new frontiers of discovery
Benoit Schillings/November 18, 2023
X Alum Benoit Schillings delivered a keynote talk at the Falling Walls Science Summit about X’s “invention machines” and how machine learning has the potential to bring forth unexpected solutions to some of the world’s most pressing issues. But in order to harness these new tools effectively, we first need to overcome human biases, including fear of the unknown. Benoit shared how his team works to surmount those assumptions in order to pursue ambitious initiatives in computing, biochemistry, generative design, and sustainable energy.
