Ken Goldberg at the 17th Annual Stanford-Berkeley Patent Law Conference

The 17th Annual Berkeley-Stanford Advanced Patent Law Institute featured Berkeley's nationally recognized faculty as well as leading judges, professors, litigators, patent attorneys and senior IP counsel from major corporations.

Ken presented a keynote on December 8th on "What Robots and AI Can Teach Us About Being Human"

From his abstract: While some say we’re on the brink of a revolution where robots will steal 50% of our jobs, Ken Goldberg will explain why humans still have many good years ahead. He will explore how Cloud Robotics combines advances in cloud computing, big data, deep learning, open-source, and the Internet of things. He will explain his concept of “Multiplicity,” which mobilizes diverse groups of humans and machines to solve difficult problems.

The conference was sponsored by Intel, Bloomberg Law, Finjan Cybersecurity, Inflexion Point, Keeker and Van Nest LLP, Hickman Palermo Becker Bingham LLP, and LitiNomics.
