The universe is a very complicated place, and humans have had millions of years to evolve the ability to navigate and make sense of it. Contemporary attempts to create AI have us looking more at how our own brains work to see how a computer could simulate the core activities that create our intelligence.

Produced by PBS Off Book, the video features, Ernest Davis, Department of Computer Science, NYU; Yann LeCann, Center for Data Science, NYU; Robin Hanson, Future of Humanity Institute, Oxford; and Gary Marcus, Department of Psychology, NYU.
