This event will bring together several academics to explore connections between biological cognition and artificial cognition. The underlying thesis here is that by better understanding intelligence in animals we can better understand intelligence in AI systems. A particular focus will be on less appreciated forms of intelligence that manifest in biological systems.
Addy Cha from Ekkolapto will be speaking about how language influences cognitive processing and communication in animals like whales, dogs, and ants. A key question is how language influences and constrains cognition.
Ekkolapto is a "thinkubator" that runs fellowships, hackathons, and exclusive conferences. Read more at https://www.ekkolapto.org/.
More details and additional speakers to be announced soon.
