Prof. Alexander G. Ororbia is a researcher in the field of bio-inspired artificial intelligence, working on on mortal computation and neurobiologically-plausible learning algorithms. Ororbia takes us on a tour of brain-inspired AI, discussing how concepts like predictive coding, forward-only learning, and neural generative coding can lead to more efficient and adaptable AI systems. He explores…

Tristan Harris and Aza Raskin discuss how existing A.I. capabilities already pose catastrophic risks to a functional society, how A.I. companies are caught in a race to deploy as quickly as possible without adequate safety measures, and what it would mean to upgrade our institutions to a post-A.I. world. This presentation is from a private…
