The 12th anniversary Marshall M. Weinberg Symposium will take place at the Michigan League Ballroom on Friday, March 29.

In November 2022, ChatGPT stunned the world by displaying abilities – answering questions, reasoning about problems, composing stories, writing code – that appear eerily “human-like”. Dramatic advances in artificial intelligence such as these raise pressing questions: What is intelligence? In what ways can models such as ChatGPT be said to possess it? In what ways do these models fall short, and what does this teach us about the capabilities of the human mind? The 2024 Weinberg Symposium on Cognitive Science features four world-leading experts on computational intelligence – from computer science, psychology, and philosophy – who will discuss and debate these timely and timeless questions.
