What Can Robots and Economics Teach Us About Humanity?
Monday, May 19, 2014
While we may think of our intelligence and ability to make choices as properties of the human brain, insights from the fields of artificial intelligence and economics paint a more complicated picture. Thoughts and actions arise from complex interactions among the brain, body, and environment — both physical and social. Rolf Pfeifer and Ernst Fehr, two of the world’s leading experts in artificial intelligence and behavioral economics, make a rare New York appearance to discuss their groundbreaking work.
*Reception to follow.
