He is currently a professor of economics and business at New York University, an honorary professor at Peking University, and the honorary director of the Sargent Institute of Quantitative Economics and Finance at the Peking University HSBC Business School.
During his lecture, Professor Sargent intends to discuss the sources and development of AI, through an analysis of the decision-making processes of such eminent figures as Galileo Galilei and Charles Darwin. He will illustrate how modern researchers design computer programmes capable of pattern recognition and decision-making and also share insights into the transformations and challenges brought about by AI.
