27 February 2022, 10.00 am EST; 4.00 pm CET; 11.00 pm China
Jeff Hawkins is one of the fascinating figures working at the intersection of AI and Neuroscience. His best selling book, A Thousand Brains: A New Theory of Intelligence, has been described as ‘Brilliant. . . Exhilarating’ by Richard Dawkins. Here Hawkins explains how parts of the brain work and describes the nature of intelligence itself. He argues that we have a model of the world in our head, and introduces the revolutionary idea that the brain actually consists of thousands of brains – modeling systems – which collectively ‘vote’ on what we are perceiving.
