In this sixth episode, host James Ingram talks to cognitive neuroscientist Romy Lorenz about her research which resulted in the first “AI neuroscientist”, her exploration of the processes of the human brain using AI, and the application of her methods to understand group behaviors.

In this fifth episode, host James Ingram will be talking to Richie Manu, author of You:ReBranded, TedX speaker and senior lecturer for the MA programme in Applied Imagination at Central St. Martins.

In the second episode of the Creative Intelligence podcast, host James Ingram is joined by Bill Bouchey, director of interior design for HOK’s New York practice, a science-informed architecture and urban design practice. In this edition, they discuss how architects have embraced AI and data science to provide innovative solutions to design challenges. They also analyse how businesses meet the challenges of the intersection of AI and EI, collaboration between seasoned architects and architectural graduates and how they confront the intersection of AI and EI in the commercial context, and ask: “How does AI adoption give architects a competitive advantage?”
