CARTA presents, 'Artificial Intelligence and Anthropogeny'

The origin of humans is a difficult scientific problem in evolution that is grounded in biology and molded by culture. Recent advances in neuroscience and artificial intelligence have led to synergies and surprising new hypotheses. Mysteries such as the origin of language and human sociality are being illuminated by these advances. This symposium will be explored by researchers at the frontiers of A.I., machine learning, language, and sociality.
