A Vision for Human and Machine Intelligence MIT Spectrum

How does human intelligence work, in engineering terms? And how can we use that deep grasp of human intelligence to build wiser and more useful machines? This year MIT launched the MIT Intelligence Quest, an initiative to discover the foundations of human intelligence and drive the development of technological tools that can positively influence virtually every aspect of society. And to help ensure that the effects of these advances will, in fact, be positive, MIT researchers are leading a rigorous consideration of the social implications of these new technologies. "The Core," one of two linked entities comprising the Intelligence Quest, will advance the science and engineering of both human and machine intelligence.
