In this insightful session from NEXT24 in Hamburg, Andy Kitchen, a leading researcher in AI and neuroscience, introduces the groundbreaking concept of Embodied AI. As co-founder of Cortical Labs,

Kitchen reveals how they are creating mini-brains – neural tissue grown on electrodes that can learn and adapt, moving beyond conventional digital AI. Kitchen discusses the significance of irreversibility in decision-making and how it shapes our understanding of cognition. He shares fascinating experiments where these mini-brains learn to play games like Pong, showcasing their ability to respond in real-time through rapid feedback loops. The implications for personalised medicine and drug discovery are immense, particularly for conditions like Alzheimer’s disease.

Join us as Kitchen challenges traditional views on intelligence, highlighting the crucial differences between algorithms and embodied experiences. Don’t miss this engaging exploration of how embodied AI could transform our understanding of learning and adaptation!
