Kinds of Intelligence 2: Machine Minds
Wed 19 June 2019 - Fri 21 June 2019
Newnham College
Kinds of Intelligence 2 is an interdisciplinary conference exploring issues related to our understanding of intelligence and minds in the age of AI. The conference is split into three themes across the three days and preceded on June 18th by the annual Margaret Boden lecture, this year given by Daniel Dennett.
Conference Topics
Day 1: Artificial consciousness in the age of deep learning
Is it possible to create machine consciousness? If so, should we, and how can this be regulated? How will we know if or when we have artificial consciousness?
How does deep learning allow us to approach or understand consciousness differently?
Day 2: Generality and intelligence in animals and AI
What is generality and could machines have it? What are the trade-offs between generality and performance in animals and machines? How can the common-sense knowledge of animals be encoded for use with AI? Does it need to be?
Day 3: Artificial Intelligence and intelligence augmentation
How will our understanding of minds change as they become more integrated with machines? How are AI techniques used for cognitive enhancements now and in the near future? How do we best navigate the benefits and risks
