There is no shortage of hype around artificial general intelligence and the dawn of “superintelligence,” but what about intelligence itself? In this fireside chat, Rumman Chowdhury (data scientist, social scientist, CEO of Humane Intelligence) and Tim Crane (Professor of Philosophy and Pro-Rector at the Central European University) move beyond the headlines to interrogate the fundamental nature of the mind.
They will tackle common misconceptions that obscure the similarities and differences between human and artificial cognition—from our tendency to anthropomorphize machines, to the idea that human thought is merely a series of computer-like calculations.
This event is organised by the FWF Cluster of Excellence Knowledge in Crisis and by CEU in cooperation with European Forum Alpbach as part of its democracy in a digital age event series.
