RIKEN MCIS "Science of Intelligence" Workshop

The Science of Intelligence Workshop is hosted by RIKEN's Mathematical, Computational and Information Sciences (MCIS) research division. Through talks and discussion by researchers from inside and outside RIKEN, the workshop aims at an integrated understanding of artificial intelligence (AI), natural intelligence (NI), and quantum intelligence (QI), with a view to unlocking new forms of human creativity. The program includes Koichi Takahashi (RIKEN BDR) on the science of intelligence, Kenji Doya (OIST) on the strengths and weaknesses of brains and AI, Tadashi Yamazaki (University of Electro-Communications) on large-scale neural circuit simulation using the Fugaku supercomputer, Akira Furusawa (University of Tokyo / RIKEN Quantum Computing Center) on optical quantum computers with quantum teleportation, and Takayuki Suzuki (University of Tokyo) on natural and artificial intelligence from a philosophical perspective, followed by a general discussion with the speakers and working group members. The workshop is held in hybrid format at Okochi Hall on RIKEN's Wako campus, with online streaming via Zoom. It is conducted in Japanese, with English subtitles available in the online broadcast. Participation is free (an optional reception costs 4,000 yen with advance sign-up) and is open to those with RIKEN affiliation; advance registration is required (capacity: 100 on site, 150 on Zoom).
