Leslie Gabriel Valiant (born 28 March 1949) is a British American computer scientist and computational theorist. He is currently the T. Jefferson Coolidge Professor of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics at Harvard University. Valiant was awarded the A.M. Turing Award in 2010, having been described by the A.C.M. as a heroic figure in theoretical computer science and a role model for his courage and creativity in addressing some of the deepest unsolved problems in science; in particular for his "striking combination of depth and breadth".
Absorbent Minds: Human Cognition in a Digital World with Leslie Valiant PhD
The learning mechanism in the human brain is not yet equipped to deal with information meant to deceive or manipulate. Armed with a computational approach to civilization but lacking the ability to discern fact from fiction, we find ourselves at the precipice of a new digital world for which we ...

541. The Ingredients That Make Up Human and Artificial Educability with Leslie Valiant
What does it mean to learn something? While many living things have the capacity for learning, humans have taken this ability to unmatched levels. Our ability to learn and apply knowledge sets us apart from most other species, and now we’re passing that ability on to AI.
Leslie Valiant is a prof...
Strachey Lecture: Can one Define Intelligence as a Computational Phenomenon?
Can we build on our understanding of supervised learning to define broader aspects of the intelligence phenomenon. Strachey Lecture delivered by Leslie Valiant. Supervised learning is a cognitive phenomenon that has proved amenable to mathematical definition and analysis, as well as to exploitati...
Episode 693: Why do humans thrive? What about AI?-LESLIE VALIANT-THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EDUCABLE
Today’s conversation with Turing Award-winning computer scientist LESLIE VALIANT explores a question I find myself returning to over and over again – What makes us human? What unique abilities have allowed homo sapiens to succeed, flourish, and dominate – knowing it’s not our size, strength, or s...
Machine Learning Theory with Leslie Valiant
What would a "theory" of machine learning tell us? In this episode Tom meets with the person who invented what is now the widely accepted definition of supervised machine learning: Turing Award recipient and Harvard Professor Leslie Valiant.
Leslie tells us how he got interested in the problem, ...
Educable: Rethinking Intelligence, Education, and the Future of Learning. David Staley
In this episode, David J. Staley reads from his latest University Design blog entry, Educable, where he explores a provocative new concept drawn from Leslie Valiant’s recent work: that what truly distinguishes humans is not intelligence—but educability.
What if education is not simply about acqui...
How to Think Before You Think
What does it mean to think well? In Think Before You Think: Understanding and Mastering Executive Function, Adrian Owen explains the hidden mental skills that help us focus, plan, pause, and make better decisions. And in The Importance of Being Educable: A New Theory of Human Uniqueness, Leslie V...
