In this episode, Paul Middlebrooks talks with Tony Zador, professor of biology at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, about the nascent and growing field of NeuroAI. Zador points to a few key ways that neuroscience-inspired innovations could improve artificial intelligence. Studying brain development, for example, might help engineer better curriculum learning and improve how robots behave in the real world. Likewise, evolutionary principles might improve built-in priors in AI systems.
