News Overview

How can cognitive science inform artificial neural network re­search and vice versa? This question was the focus of the interdisciplinary and collaborative workshop Human Intelligence meets Artificial Intelligence, jointly organized by STRUC­TURES and Field of Focus IV: "Self-Regulation & Regulation: Individuals & Societies" at Hei­del­berg Uni­ver­si­ty, from Oct 4 to 5, 2023.

Over the course of two days, nearly one hundred participants with diverse academic backgrounds convened at Marsilius Kolleg to engage in a vibrant exchange of ideas with invited experts spanning the fields from cognitive and neuroscience to scientific ma­chine learning, biomedicine and brain-inspired computing. Through instructive keynote talks and stimulating discussions, the workshop provided a unique multidisciplinary perspective on the phenomenon of intelligence and its emergence from neural structure and cognitive processes. The event generated novel insights about common principles, ideas and promising pathways for collaboration to advance our understanding of both human intelligence and modern AI tools, bridging both fields.
