When Will We Need a Theory of Intelligence - Panel Discussion

Engage in a thought-provoking panel discussion exploring the necessity of a theory of intelligence in the age of advanced machine learning algorithms. Delve into the successes of AI in tasks like protein folding prediction and creative expression, and question whether these achievements indicate machines can solve all complex human tasks given sufficient resources. Examine the importance of theoretical frameworks in technological advancements, drawing parallels with fields like physics and engineering. Consider the ethical implications of relying on algorithms for critical decisions and governance. Explore potential components of a theory of intelligence and investigate where in nature, beyond human and machine intelligence, we might find insights into the emergence of such theories. This 1 hour 13 minute panel discussion, featuring five experts, is part of the InterPlanetary 2022 event organized by the Santa Fe Institute, offering a deep dive into the intersection of artificial intelligence, cognitive science, and complex systems theory.
