He will give an informal presentation\, during which he will raise som e issues about what he sees as strengths and weaknesses in today’s AI sy stems and how he sees them differing from humans. After the visit to CBL\, he will also give the CAIS Lecture 2023 from 18:30 - 21:00. \n\nAbout the speaker\n\nJames L. (Jay) McClelland is a Cognitive Scientist who has use d neural network models to explore the mechanisms of human and machine int elligence for nearly 50 years. In the late 1970's he introduced a neural network model capturing the dynamics of activation flow through a neural n etwork. He then teamed up with David Rumelhart\, the inventor of the lear ning algorithm that powers today's neural-network based language models an d many other machine learning systems. Together they produced the two-vol ume work Parallel Distributed Processing (MIT Press\, 1986) that kindled t he second wave of neural network research beginning in the mid 1980's. Mc Clelland led the creation the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh in the 1990's\ , then moved to Stanford University\, where he led the creation of the Cen ter for Mind\, Brain and Computation in 2008. He is the Lucie Stern Profe ssor in the Psychology Department at Stanford\, and holds courtesy appoint ments in Computer Science and Linguistics\, and he is currently a Consulta nt Research Scientist at Google DeepMind.
