In his first large-scale public presentation after receiving the Turing Award, Dr. Richard S. Sutton presents, "The Era of Experience & The Age of Design," recorded live at Upper Bound. In this presentation, Dr. Sutton lays the groundwork and shares a few key insights from his latest paper with David Silver (Alpha Go), "Welcome to the Era of Experience", where he explores a pivotal shift in Artificial Intelligence: moving beyond learning solely from human data to an "era of experience," where AI systems learn autonomously through their own interactions and observations.

Upper Bound 2025 is Amii's annual artificial intelligence conference, held in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, bringing together researchers, industry, and policymakers. The conference focuses on accelerating AI excellence and innovation for good, emphasizing AI for critical infrastructure, health, industrial operations, responsible AI, and AI literacy.
