behavior and how we may be able to replicate intelligence in machines – is
arguably the greatest problem in science and technology. To solve it, we will
need to understand how human intelligence emerges from computations in neural
circuits, with rigor sufficient to reproduce similar intelligent behavior in
machines. Success in this endeavor ultimately will enable us to understand
ourselves better, to produce smarter machines, and perhaps even to make
ourselves smarter. Today’s AI technologies, such as Watson and Siri, are
impressive, but their domain specificity and reliance on vast numbers of
labeled examples are obvious limitations; few view this as brain-like or human
intelligence. The synergistic combination of cognitive science, neurobiology,
engineering, mathematics, and computer science holds the promise to build much
more robust and sophisticated algorithms implemented in intelligent machines.
The goal of this course is to help produce a community of leaders that is
equally knowledgeable in neuroscience, cognitive science, and computer science
and will lead the development of true biologically inspired AI.</span></p>
