Today's AI runs on neural networks, a design originally inspired by the human brain. As these systems grow more sophisticated, they're raising a profound question: Even if they don't work exactly like our brains, could something resembling a "mind" eventually emerge from the machines we're building?
Guests: Gaurav Suri and Jay McClelland
Book: The Emergent Mind: How Intelligence Arises in People and Machines
