PIBBSS regularly invites researchers from a wide range of fields studying intelligent behaviour and exploring their connections to the problem of AI Risk and Safety.
In the past, we had speakers such as Michael Levin talking about Morphogenesis as a form of intelligent problem-solving building towards a framework of Basal Cognition; Josh Bongard about efforts to build hybrid intelligent 'agents' at the intersection of biology, cognition and engineering; Miguel Aguilera on Nonequilibrium Neural Computation; Steve Byrnes on Challenges for Safe and Beneficial Brain-Like AI; or Tang Zhi Xuan on Modeling Bayesian Bounded Rational Agents.
