#20: The origins of artificial intelligence - Aaron Andalman
I sat down with Dr. Aaron Andalman, the Chief Science Officer and co-founder of Cognitiv. Andalman holds a PhD in neuroscience, and so today, we’re breaking down the gaps, connections and inspirations between AI and neuroscience; all the things we’ve learned and the many things we still don’t know.
