Lunchbox Science with Professor Zdenka Kuncic
The world is infatuated with Artificial Intelligence (AI), and understandably so, given its super-human ability to find patterns in big data. But so-called “general intelligence” that humans possess still remains elusive in AI. In this talk, Professor Zdenka Kuncic will approach this topic from a physics perspective. By viewing the brain’s neural network as a physical hardware system, rather than algorithm-based software, revealing clues that suggest the underlying nature of intelligence is physical.
