The role of children's learning in advancing artificial intelligence

How do children learn so effortlessly through play, curiosity, and exploration? Can these principles help scientists build more flexible and intelligent AI systems? Professor Alison Gopnik, a leading researcher in cognitive development and theory of mind, will explore these questions and more.

In this lecture, she will discuss:

  • the mechanisms behind children's natural ability to learn, adapt, and think creatively
  • how curiosity-driven learning can inform AI development
  • the differences between human and machine learning processes
  • the challenges of replicating human cognition in artificial systems

This event is a unique opportunity to gain insights into the latest research at the intersection of developmental psychology and artificial intelligence.
