SUMMARY:CS Distinguished Lecture: Dr. Lance Fortnow\,  Illinois Institute o
 f Technology
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Complexity in the Era of AI and Data-Driven ComputingWe live in
  a new age of computing\, driven by faster distributed computation\, stron
 g optimization\, data-driven algorithms\, and of course remarkable advance
 s in artificial intelligence. We’ve made dramatic progress on problems t
 hought unsolvable a decade ago.What does this brave new world tell us abou
 t computational complexity? The classic P vs NP problem shifts from a barr
 ier telling us what we cannot do to a guide to what’s possible. We are h
 eading towards a surprising utopian computing world where we can solve man
 y difficult problems quickly in practice while all our cryptographic proto
 cols remain secure\, and where we can make significant progress in learnin
 g in nearly every domain.\n\nMore information at: https://www.cs.iastate.e
