Brain and AI, Fatal Combination or Unique Revolution?

New Frontier Ciência Inteligência Artificial Futuro Tecnologia Impacto Social

The development of generative AI brings several impacts to human society. Within this framework, to be aware of its possibilities and risks is vital. A deep understanding of its implications is essential to guide a responsible and ethical development of this technology. This requires a holistic approach considering beyond the potential benefits, also the associated challenges. In this panel, we will reflect on how enjoy the full transformative potential of generative AI while mitigating its negative impacts on human society.

Eilon Vaadia | Palestrante

Prof. Vaadia (Former Director and Founder of ELSC - The Edmond & Lily Safra Center for Brain Sciences, 2009-2016) combines theory and experiments to study brain sensorimotor functions. The team at the lab uses brain-machine interfaces (BMI) electrical activity of neurons in brain circuits. In simple words, BMIs can read to modulate and decipher the "brain’s intention” from its activity, and further; BMI can be used to detect in real-time electrical patterns involved in a brain disease and readjust these patterns to ameliorate the disease.
