DESCRIPTION:In both computer science and economics\, efficiency is a cheri
 shed property. The field of algorithms is almost solely focused on their e
 fficiency. The goal of AI research is to increase efficiency by reducing h
 uman labor.  In economics\, the main advantage of the free market is that 
 it promises "economic efficiency". A major lesson from many recent disaste
 rs is that both fields have over-emphasized efficiency and under-emphasize
 d resilience. I argue that resilience is a more important property than ef
 ficiency and discuss how the two fields can broaden their focus to make re
 silience a primary consideration.  I will conclude by raising serious ques
 tions on the goal of the AI research program.\nSpeakers:\nMoshe Y. Vardi (
