AI is everywhere. But what’s fact and what’s fiction? Today’s technology seems to have a mind of its own. But the fact is that artificial intelligence began as an outgrowth of neuroscience. Now, at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL), a new generation of NeuroAI researchers is bringing the field back to its roots and ushering in the next evolution of AI in the process.
On June 13, James Rollins, author of the New York Times bestselling techno-thriller series Sigma Force, joined CSHL NeuroAI Scholars Kyle Daruwalla and Christian Pehle via Zoom for a panel discussion on AI, art, literature, the brain, and the future as we know it. If you’ve ever wondered about the line between science fact and science fiction, this conversation—made possible through a partnership with The Next Chapter in Huntington, NY—is one you won’t want to miss.
Press play to see where that line blurs. And hear about the future of science and fiction from some of the creative minds who are making it happen. Oh, and if you’re wondering about that sculpture behind our scholars, it’s not a sea creature. Visit our HarborScope blog for a closer look at Dale Chihuly’s “Twisting Dendrites.”
