S12608: Building Machines That Learn and Think Like People in Splash 2018 (Nov. 17 - 18, 2018)
We'll explore a possible roadmap to making actual artificial intelligence: reverse engineering human intelligence! Humans are remarkably capable at doing almost anything they want. How is this possible and why is it so difficult to replicate this behavior in a machine? What is the underlying structure of the mind that allows us to reason so effectively about the world? We'll dive into the fields of computational cognitive science and neuroscience to better understand these questions and what the future of artificial intelligence, psychology, and neuroscience might look like.
