As artificial neural networks evolve, they can now recognize faces, write stories, and even create art. Some argue that these algorithms have passed the "Turing test" - a benchmark for evaluating machine intelligence. In this thought-provoking lecture, we will explore how modern AI illuminates and challenges our understanding of what it means to be human in a rapidly changing technological landscape.

Join Professor Stephanie Nelli, a cognitive computational neuroscientist, as they delve into the intersections of neuroscience and artificial intelligence, examining how these advancements not only reflect human capabilities but also redefine our own identities. Don't miss this opportunity to engage with cutting-edge ideas about AI and humanity.


Stephanie Nelli is an Assistant Professor in the Cognitive Science Department at Occidental College. She uses neuroscience and machine learning to study the computational principles underlying rapid learning and flexible decision-making.
