How exactly does the mind work? How do we learn and make decisions? And how does that compare to the way AI thinks? In their new book, “The Emergent Mind: How Intelligence Arises in People and Machines,” San Francisco State psychologist Gaurav Suri and Stanford’s Jay McClelland examine how neural networks work in our brains, and in AI.

Guests:

Gaurav Suri, computational neuroscientist and professor, San Francisco State University

Jay McClelland, professor and director of the Center for Mind, Brain, Computation and Technology, Stanford University
