Acing the Turing Test: AI and What Makes Us Human

As part of the On the Same Page program, distinguished panelists will discuss the Turing test and how it fosters the exploration of the boundaries between human and artificial intelligence. Panelists will describe the development of Berkeley's own version of the test, the Turing Test Tournament, and discuss how being a participant could change your perception of what it means to be human.

The panel discussion will be followed by an informal reception with refreshments, where attendees can meet and chat with the panelists and other guests.

Panelist/Discussant: Brian Christian, Author of The Most Human Human: What Artificial Intelligence Teaches Us About Being Alive

Moderator: Tom Griffiths, Director, Computational Cognitive Science Lab and Institute of Cognitive Brain Sciences, Associate Professor, Psychology and Cognitive Science
