Coelho Mollo: Yeah exactly, like you know what we do is the benchmark for intelligence. If you know other animals and the AI systems don't, uh, you know, meet our capacities then they are not intelligent. And and if you think even about, you know the kinds of capacities that until recently lots of AI was interested in it was those kinds of things that we humans tend to think are markers of intelligence. Playing go, playing chess, you know, proving mathematical theorems and stuff like that, right? While all the things that we tend to think are, you know, not intelligence like just moving around and you know, uh, being able to look here, picking up things or turning open opening doors and so on so forth that we take not being intelligent.

" Cognitive science and AI have a symbiotic relationship between them" Living organisms always contributed to the inspirations for so many modern technologies. Of course the first example that come to mind will be cameras, which can be seen as an artificial eye having lenses and light sensitive surfaces. These are well studied in the subject called bio mimicry. Now it's reached the time for more research on mimicking human intelligence, which gave birth to the broad field of artificial intelligence. Discussing the significance of AI lead us to the huge applications like self-driving cars, intelligent e-commerce websites etc. and accomplishments include playing games like chess and go, in which, you should be surprised to know that the games like Go are extremely complex and its possible configurations are beyond the number of particles in this universe.

Ali Boyle is currently a Research Fellow in Kinds of Intelligence at University of Cambridge and University of Bonn. Her main research field is philosophy of mind and psychology, focusing particularly on nonhuman minds and the methods used to study them. She holds a PhD in Philosophy from University of Cambridge. In this interview, we talk about artificial intelligence, cognitive sciences and philosophy of mind. My research focuses on theoretical questions about nonhuman minds: what are nonhuman minds like, and how can we learn about them?

Prof. Tom Griffiths is the director of the Computational Cognitive Science Lab and the Institute of Cognitive and Brain Sciences at UC Berkeley. He studies human cognition and is involved with the Center for Human Compatible Artificial Intelligence. I asked him for insight into the intersection of cognitive science and AI. He offers his thoughts on the historical interaction of the fields and what aspects of human cognition might be relevant to developing AI in the future.
