Wired to Wonder: OG Intelligence vs AI
Join us at this year's STEM Christmas lecture and discover how brains and machines sense, learn and imagine, and what comparing them reveals about intelligence itself. Dr David Westley explores how living and artificial systems process information, adapt to the world, and how both minds and machines, in their own ways, are wired to wonder and surprise.
