The fields of neuroscience and AI have undergone significant transformation over the last ten years, thanks in large part to a rapid expansion in technological capacities that are permitting ever more complex experiments and computations to be carried out. Brain-like computing is becoming common in artificial intelligence and machine learning. But can brains and machines think alike?
How will neuroscience and AI shape each other’s futures?
This is a crucial question as our understanding of the brain increases, and the AI in our devices and machines increasingly permeate society, business and the economy. To map the road ahead, this symposium (held at NYU March 16-18, 2018) gathered global leaders in both neuroscience and artificial intelligence. Speakers not only described their work, but also shared their thoughts on the best path going forward.
