TALKING MACHINES, THINKING MINDS
What is intelligence? How can we distinguish human intelligence from artificial intelligence? By bringing together neuroscience, machine learning, and philosophy, we explore the similarities and differences between biological brains and artificial systems. We discover how large language models — the “brains” behind tools like ChatGPT — work and what makes them so skilled at answering our questions. Can we really say that they “think,” or are we simply projecting human categories onto them?
