The Center for Brains, Minds & Machines

Fujitsu Laboratories and MIT’s Center for Brains, Minds and Machines Broaden Partnership [MIT News]

New investment supports intelligence research, student fellowships: Fujitsu and CBMM announced a multi-year philanthropic partnership focused on advancing the science and engineering of intelligence while supporting the next generation of researchers.
Model helps robots navigate more like humans do [MIT News]

In simulations, robots move through new environments by exploring, observing, and drawing from learned experiences: Humans can usually navigate spaces safely without thinking too much. Robots, on the other hand, struggle with such navigational concepts.
The Brains, Minds and Machines Summer Course is now available on the MIT Open Course Ware website!

This course explores the problem of intelligence-its nature, how it is produced by the brain and how it could be replicated in machines—using an approach that integrates cognitive science, neuroscience, computer science, and artificial intelligence.
Brains, Minds + Machines Summer Course 2018 | MBL Woods Hole, MA

An intensive three-week course which will give a “deep end” introduction to the problem of intelligence. Course will be held from Aug. 9, 2018 through Aug. 30, 2018, at MBL, Woods Hole, MA.
Smarter AIs could help us understand how our brains interpret the world [Science]

While artificial intelligence has been busy besting humans at Go and spawning eerily personable Alexas, some neuroscientists have a different hope: that the types of algorithms driving those technologies can also yield some insight into the human brain.
Machine intelligence could benefit from child's play [Tech Target]

Advances in AI have spurred high interest in the technology, but the road to making machines intelligent remains a long one, said MIT's Josh Tenenbaum at the EmTech conference.
