Building a being: AI needs neuroscience for human connection avec Gunnar NEWQUIST

Current technology is building artificial intelligence which is quite opposite of human intelligence. Instead of the cold, calculating mimics that dominate the collective conversation, Dr. Newquist envisions warm, caring robots with emotions and personality. Accomplishing this, however, takes a revolution in both neuroscience and artificial intelligence.  Dr. Newquist will walk us through his journey from scientist to technologist and some of the major technology challenges that he thinks need to be addressed to create human connection through more life-like AI robots.

Gunnar Newquist is a former concert pianist, record-holding extreme skier, and PhD Neuroscientist with a fascination for life-like robots. In 2015, he entered the technology space with the question, “Where are all of our synthetic buddies that science fiction promised us?” He founded a startup called Brain2Bot to build more life-like intelligence from the principles uncovered in his neuroscience research, rather than from traditional computer science. Since then, Gunnar has been working for AI and autonomous robotics companies as a Product Manager and consultant, focusing heavily on human-machine interactions. Today, he is on a mission to create human connection by developing technologies that bring people together, rather than isolate them. He believes this will take a revolution in both neuroscience and artificial intelligence to purposefully construct the best future possible.
