There's a paradox at the heart of artificial intelligence: it works great, but we don't really know why. The models speak, write, reason. But below the surface remains an almost philosophical question: are we building intelligent machines or are we just imitating intelligence without understanding it? Today we try to get into that mystery with one of the few scientists who is attempting to give a mathematical answer to all of this. He is one of the fathers of computer vision, he has formed entire generations of researchers, many of whom today lead the global AI revolution, including the Nobel Prize-winning Hassabis. From the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he directs the Center for Brains, Minds and Machines, in Rome for the EmTech Italy 2026 event, Tomaso Poggio is one of the most qualified scholars to understand the relationship between our intelligence and that of machines. He is the guest of this episode of Eta Beta Pills conducted by Massimo Cerofolini directed by Mimmi Micocci.
