Intelligence: a dichotomous perspective? by Alessandro Chiolerio 
Do fungi reall talk?  by Andy Adamatzky, Mohammad Dehshibi

2X242   Bristol Business School

Intelligence: a dichotomous perspective? Invited talk by Professor Alessandro Chiolerio Intelligence, understood as a cognitive process, can be described both through a symbolic approach, which couples itself well with the adoption of technological elements such as the digital world, and through a continuum approach, more familiar with biology. Retracing the features that the study of artificial intelligence proposes to us in deconstructing human cognitive processes, we will evaluate which and how many of these are fundamental, paying particular attention to higher plants. Phenomenological universalities, sequentiality, causality will be introduced and discussed. The main electronic and computer implementations will be briefly discussed, with a reference to holonomic machines by means of which it is expected to restore a link that closes this apparent dichotomy between artificial and biological intelligence.

Do fungi really talk? A performance by Professor Andrew Adamatzky (UWE), Professor Alessandro Chiolerio (IIT) and Associate Professor Mohammad Mahdi Dehshibi (UC3M). Mohammand, Alessandro and Andrew will be sharing their insights into analysis of electrical activity of fungi and trees. By criticising each other’s works they will aim to understand if the electrical activity of fungi and plants is a language or just an artefact of biophysical modifications of the growing mycelium networks and plants’ vascular system.
