<h2>The &quot;AI as a Window on Human Intelligence&quot; lecture is part of The Neuroscience of Decision Making Presidential Lecture Series in Neuroscience and Autism Science.</h2>

The last decade has seen explosive progress in artificial intelligence, with AI systems matching or exceeding human abilities in a rapidly growing range of settings. Current AI obviously has potentially transformative implications as technology. Perhaps less obvious are the opportunities it opens for gaining a deeper understanding of human intelligence.In this talk, Matthew Botvinick will consider those opportunities. He will start with a review of the most relevant recent developments in AI and then describe recent studies in which innovations in AI have been translated into new insights concerning the human mind and brain.<a href="https://hai.stanford.edu/people/matthew-botvinick" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a><a href="https://hai.stanford.edu/people/matthew-botvinick" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Botvinick</a> is the senior director of research at DeepMind and an honorary professor at the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit at University College London. Botvinick completed his undergraduate studies at Stanford University in 1989 and medical studies at Cornell University in 1994 before completing a Ph.D. in psychology and cognitive neuroscience at Carnegie Mellon University in 2001. He served as an assistant professor of psychiatry and psychology at the University of Pennsylvania until 2007 and a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Princeton University until joining DeepMind in 2016. His work at DeepMind straddles the boundaries between cognitive psychology, artificial intelligence and computational and experimental neuroscience.REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS<ul><li>You must be 18+ to attend this event</li><li>Registration will close at 2:00 p.m. the day of the event</li><li>Please only register yourself and use your complete first and last name as it appears on your photo ID when filling in the form.</li><li> If you have a guest you would like to bring with you to this event, please send them the link to register so they can sign up on their own.</li></ul>BUILDING ENTRY PROTOCOL<ul><li>Provide valid photo ID</li><li>Present your digital or printed Eventbrite ticket confirmation; make sure it is for the correct event and that the name on it matches your ID.</li><li>Wear a mask</li><li>Limited seating is available for this in-person event and is on a first-come, first-served basis.</li><li>All attendees must be pre-registered.
