Kinds of Intelligence Reading Group Michaelmas Term 2023
The Kinds of Intelligence reading group aims to bring together ideas of cognitive science and philosophy along with focusing on research areas of consciousness science and intelligence in artificial systems, non-human animals and humans. We discuss recent advances in the field and encourage new ideas and research endeavours. The group welcomes all interested in the philosophy of mind, cognitive science, consciousness and artificial intelligence.
The meetings will be held on Thursdays at the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence in the Boardroom on 16 Mill Ln. If you cannot make any meetings in-person and wish to attend online, please email Jai.
