We are pleased to
welcome Gunnar Newquist to present: “Improving Artificial Intelligence by
Studying the Brain”
Current artificial intelligence (AI) only works with big
data and lots of processing power, and it only delivers a solution for the
particular problem for which it was designed. The next revolution in AI, called
artificial general intelligence, is for a machine to learn, plan, and acquire
new skills in complex environments.
Gunnar Newquist, CEO of Brain2Bot, received his Ph.D. in Molecular
Neuroscience at the University of Nevada, Reno and went on to found Brain2Bot,
which is using principles of intelligence derived from neuroscience to build artificial
general intelligence.
Newquist will discuss how neuroscience can help us deliver AI
that is both safe and effective and how some of the biggest advances in AI have
been inspired by advances in neuroscience.
