The following is a conversation with Tomasopojo.

He's the professor at MIT and is a director of the Center

for Brains, Mines, and Machines.

Sighted over 100,000 times, his work

has had a profound impact on our understanding

of the nature of intelligence in both biological

and artificial neural networks.

He has been an advisor to many highly impactful researchers

and entrepreneurs in AI, including

and Kristoff Koch of the Ellen Institute for Brainsigns.

This conversation is part of the MIT course

on artificial general intelligence and the artificial intelligence

podcast.
