Abstract: Dr. James Morris will reflect on his sixty-year career in computer science spanning his time as a student at Carnegie Mellon and MIT, as a faculty member at Carnegie Mellon and Berkeley, and as an innovator in computer science and artificial intelligence (AI), including work at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center where he was part of the team that developed the Alto System, a precursor to today’s personal computers. For five years, he directed the Information Technology Center at Carnegie Mellon, a joint project with IBM which developed a prototype university computing system, Andrew. His talk will provide insight into how he and other innovators understand human behavior, human intelligence, and AI.

Host: Dr. Alex Labrinidis
