and robotics lab at carnegie mellon in pittsburgh for a piece at aired on "60 minutes." this evening, i bring you my full conversation with andrew moore, dean of school of computer science at carnegie. >> a lot of the biggest advances in artificial intelligence in the last 20 years have actually been inspired by looking at what goes on in the brain. often, the brain really reacts to mistakes. if you do something that doesn't work out, stuff in the brain says, well, i'm not going to do that next time, i'm going to try something else. a lot of our machine learning algorithms do the same thing. >> rose: all about artificial intelligence when we continue. >> rose: funding for "charlie rose" has been provided by the following: >> and by bloomberg, a provider of multimedia news and information services worldwide. captioning sponsored by rose communications from our studios in new york city, this is charlie rose. >> rose: what is artificial intelligence? >> so it is what we're all doing when we make machines do things which we usually ascribe to human intelligence. so it is all

andrew: all four of those companies come to places like carnegie mellon and m.i.t. begging up to give them artificial intelligence researchers. charlie: they want your graduates. andrew: yes. charlie: what is the most surprising thing today, that even like the passage to do it amazes you in terms of the velocity of change? andrew: here's a couple of big surprises. we have worked so hard and robotics, almost every aspect of being able to understand the world, getting our robots to act swiftly and act safely, they cannot still reliably pick up a cup of coffee. simple things where we use our hands -- charlie: why is it so hard to do that? andrew: we are not quite sure. we have tried various wings with grippers and clause to do this. human dexterity still blows us away. our geithner -- current understanding is that our fingers and our hands are amazing instruments. we are sensing all over them so that as your hand is coming into grip something, it's doing lots of computations. is this going to slip, is this going to fall? we robot assists really need to get our act toge

in the case of pittsburgh they attributed this to carnegie mellon and to pittsburgh. just in the last seven, eight years, google set up shop in pittsburgh. and employee number one was computer science. he went and started this operation. now it is one of the largest revenue makers for anyone in the world. they have several hundred employees. we actually got this faculty member who spent years at google. joked at google. the only reason he is coming back to the university is because we can pay him more than google can. so i think it is a two-way process. is same with companies like microsoft, uber and others. i think it is a brain circulation of a different kind. other than you're using faculty members from one university to another university, now we lose them to industry. >> this is going to go to both of. long lines you're talk building right now. we hear a lot about the immigration issue. i know in my company all of my scientists are immigrants. it's been really tough with the visa program and everything else. talk about that a little bit, steve. you're investing i

they attribute this to carnegie mellon, the university of pittsburgh. those are examples just in the last seven, eight years google set up shop in pittsburgh. employee number one was professor of computer science who went and started this operation. now it is is one of the largest revenue makers for google anywhere in the world. and now they have several hundred employees. they are tripling the footprint in pittsburgh. we actually got this faculty member who spent 10 years at google back, my dean of computer science. in fact, i joked to senior executives at google that the only reason he's coming back to the university is because we can pay him more than google k so i think it's a two-way process. same with companies like microsoft, uber and others. i think it's a brain circulation of a different kind. rather than losing faculty members from our university to another university, now we lose them to industry. >> this is going to both of you. we hear a lot about the immigration issue. i know in my company, all of my scientists are immigrants. it's been re

now the president of carnegie mellon. we have one of the top people in i.t. in history with one of the top material scientists in the world. so this is going to be a lot of fun. i want to get it started. this is a great time to be alive. it is a great time to be here with you. we're in a very unusual time. everybody remembers when the patent officer in the turn of the century, the guy that said, everything that's going to be invented has been invented. might as well close the patent office. in the '70s, what most people don't know, the guy run the patent office at that time said more will be invented in the next 100 years than in the history of mankind. now everybody says more will be invented in the next five years than in the history of mankind. we have been hearing that all day, because basically all this is caused by the inventions in our lifetime and the last four years of four things. the chip, software, storage, and internet. and then all day long we've got to hear about all the incredible new things coming at us as full speed, like a.i., robots, nan o

emily: you have multiple degrees, and engineering degree, biomedical engineering at carnegie mellon,ba and stanford. he wrote this post called, is majoring in the arts and mistake for students? would you indicated it does not set you up for success. this caused some controversy which i know you are not shy about. one, to road, the real purpose of human existence is fundamentally tied -- tied to the simulation of wealth. what is your response? vinod: that is a nonsensical response. what liberal arts has become is an excuse to do less work. that is not everybody. i speak to that. 80% of students who actually do it for the wrong reason, but bottom line, if liberal arts goals are legal, then liberal arts as taught today and taken today at the wrong level. emily: what should they be studying? vinod: logic and philosophy should be an absolute part of liberal arts week is otherwise you do not learn how to think. linguistics, economics, learning how computers work because we live in the computer age. acquire another language when the most important language is computing. not because people n

an engineering degree, as the indian institute of technology, biomedical engineering at carnegie mellonan mba at stanford. you wrote a post called "is majoring in liberal arts a mistake" for students. it caused some controversy, which i know you're not shy about. one critique wrote "the real purpose of human existence is fundamentally tied to the regulation of wealth." what is your response? vinod: that is a nonsensical response. what liberal arts has become is an excuse to do less work. that isn't everybody. i speak to the 80% of students who actually do it for the wrong reason. but bottom line, if liberal arts goals are the goal, then liberal arts as taught today and taken today is the wrong curriculum. emily: what should they study? vinod: logic and philosophy should be an absolute part of any liberal arts curriculum. otherwise you do not learn how to think. linguistics, economics. learning about how computers work. we live in the computer age. why require a second language when the most important language is computing? not that most people ever need to code. but because it is a styl

professor ate a carnegie mellon university in pittsburgh, codirector of the initiative for digital media analytics which is what? rahul: again, the book is a culmination of the research we have been doing for the last maybe 10 or 12 years. in the process we get a variety questions at the level in the policy level. we have done a lot of work on copyright and infringement and how effective it is. these are in the process of establishing the center. the purpose of the center is to hire faculty and students who will come in at times and do research for the media industry. peter: professor, has the legislators and regulators here in washington kept up with the changes in this world? rahul: so, i think much of the focus over the last maybe 10 years when it comes to regulation was for protecting content. how to stop the infringement of the content. 1998 when napster came in, the music industry is not what it was 10 years ago. obviously the content is definitely what they want to protect, the intellectual property and copyright. it gets very challenging because now it is the individual users who

she is a carnegie mellon melanie also welcome is the millennial plaques or just a carnegie mellon fellow] she's actually only 9-years-old. [laughter] she's done a lot. [laughter] a longtime resident of moscow maybe that's just how they do it in russia, that's how good the vodka is. a longtime resident of moscow, she now lives in new york and he gives me great pleasure to introduce masha. [applause] ♪ yes, and the vodka was very helpful in making those decisions. [laughter] you already know that it was a love of books and that the choice was excruciatingly hard. such a lot of books but also such a lot of great and important books. i was very impressed with how many books on history we had to read this year, how many striking memoirs were red. and i realized at one point i was thinking if my 15-year-old daughter, who is actually here today because she had the job of alphabetizing the books and sorting them and resorting them, if she had read nothing but the books that were nominated by publishers for the nonfiction award this year, she would be a really well-educated person. i want to than

we have everybody from computer science majors from carnegie mellon all the way to starbucks baristasd everything if between. in general, most of our students have college degrees already, and they're looking to either upgrade their existing career path or change careers entirely. . these skills that really help companies lead the way into the future that we're all imaging. >> and how is that helping those people become more fully employed beyond what they would have otherwise been doing in their job. there's been so much discussion around heavy industry and retraining factory workers to be able to work in advanced manufacturing. this is happening on the software and on the services side as well. >> it is. i think it's going to happen a lot slower, and we're talking about decades. not necessarily a couple of years before all the jobs are going away all throughout our economy. i think these things -- it will happen in phases. i think what we're seeing in the sector is that we -- that we work in and the skills that we train for and the employers we work for is that these skills are grow

you shouldn't need a carnegie mellon ph.d. to use a cybersecurity product. then data scientists.ractically a university math department of ph.d.s who are writing the algorithms that undergird all this detection technology. emily: a lot going on here when it comes to global cybersecurity. president-elect trump planning to issue an executive order on on day one to prioritize the creation of a cyberresponse infrastructure, yet at the same time he's been skeptical of these claims that russia hacked the u.s. elections. how do you expect the threat landscape to change under president trump? nate: i think the threat landscape will continue becoming more and more hostile to the united states. for the simple fact that offense is structurally dominant. a doll after offense beats a dollar of defense every time. if the u.s. is going to ensure a basic level of trust and stability in the cyberdomain, we have to bring to bear all the elements of american power in order to deter our adversaries. it shouldn't be about the united states hacking hackers. we should be marshaling every element of mil

. >> pittsburgh, you know, along with carnegie mellon, which is an amazing university, it's a think tanktes these new opportunities. but it is a spirit. what happened also over the last eight years -- you can tell i haven't been a big fan of the last eight years but we have had lots of government programs that have made it easier for people to not go out and get trained and retrained. so you take pittsburgh as a model. that's what the whole country should be looking at, a very positive tooutd attitude towards the future. >> what about unions. >> unions to me, i can't -- i'm very anti-union. >> why? >> when you hear the word union think of the word inflation because they cost a lot of money. and any time you are doing anything with a union, you are going to find that you could have done that a lot cheaper if you hadn't had some sort of union involved with it. >> which is why jobs flee to mexico and elsewhere? >> mexico, china, colombia. i mean, in eastern europe. and that's why business owners will do that, because they are rewarded for doing so and that's what they are paid to do. once w
