“Acceptance Speech” Frontiers of Knowledge Award 2019 in Information and Communication Technologies

Acceptance speech by Isabelle Guyon, winner of the 2019 Frontiers of Knowledge Award in Information and Communication Technologies, who was honored alongside Bernhard Schölkopf and Vladimir Vapnik for their fundamental contributions to machine learning. Her research has been instrumental in the development of support vector machines, which enable pattern recognition and the classification of large datasets, as well as advances in causal inference methods, with applications in medical diagnosis, natural language processing and other areas of artificial intelligence.

Guyon reflects on the opportunities offered by artificial intelligence and expresses concern about the potential misuse of these technologies. Her research career has also been characterized by the promotion of collaborative and educational initiatives, such as ChaLearn, aimed at advancing machine learning through open scie
