I'm happy to announce the start of a new free and open online course on neuroscience for people with a machine learning or similar background, co-developed by Marcus Ghosh. YouTube Videos and Jupyter-based exercises will be released weekly. There is a Discord for discussions.

The (brand new!) AI Institute ARNI (ARtificial + Natural Intelligence) is hiring postdocs to work at the intersection of AI+neuro, at Columbia U. Please share! Info: arni-institute.org Apply: apply.interfolio.com/125533 (reviewed on rolling basis)

Les #neurosciences inspirent l’#intelligenceartificielle. L’#IA améliore les neurosciences. Et à la jonction des deux s’ouvre un champ de #recherche aussi fascinant que prometteur. bit.ly/3SEg6Bh Eilif B. Muller @[email protected] Mila - Institut québécois d'IA IVADO #semainedelasanténumérique

Excited to share our Google DeepMind work creating agents that can mimic experts in goal-driven behaviour in real-time 3D environments. It's a significant stride in human-AI interaction. Delve into the details in our paper in Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146…

Artificial.Agency is building the behavior engine driving the future of interactive digital entertainment. We are co-creating the next level of gaming with our studio partners and you’re invited to be part of the journey. Join our pilot. artificial.agency

How do multiple synapses interact to modulate learning? Everton J. Agnes & Tim Vogels postulate models of “codependent” synaptic plasticity that promote rapid, multi-synaptic attainment of stable receptive fields, dendritic patterns and plausible neural dynamics nature.com/articles/s4159…

1/n The best understood parts of thalamus link our skin, tongue, eyes, ears to cerebral cortex. What does the rest of thalamus do? Gordon Petty now shows that secondary “tactile” and “visual” thalamus respond better to important events than their own senses! (Image SG Kene) 🧵

Announcing the launch of the 2024 Co-creating with Art and AI residency program. We are looking for applicants who want to explore the ethical use of AI and/or its creative applications. Artists and collectives in all stages of their careers are invited to apply. More details

It's been an insane week for AI. Here are 9 massive changes happening around AI this week: 1/ Deepfakes are becoming indistinguishable from reality.

6/ AI is coming for Hollywood. OpenAI has started giving access to filmmakers and producers. 'air head' is one of the first short films made using Sora.

Meet Hume’s Empathic Voice Interface (EVI), the first conversational AI with emotional intelligence.

Google released LUMIERE, and it's insane It's literally ChatGPT for: - Image-to-Video - Text-to-Video - Stylized Generation - Video Editing - Animation - Inpainting Here're 7 examples that will blow your mind:

All models are guesses, and are wrong. Feynman explains it: youtube.com/watch?v=EYPapE… We can't model "all the biological details"-"without abstractions". Adding more details, the separation of biology and physics blurs, and physics has no bottom, thus we must use abstractions.

Fond memories of a sunny afternoon with Roberto Araya, who could be like sunshine himself... gofundme.com/f/roberto-aray…

If you can't make it on the 14th, you can also join us on Sunday, September 15th 10am-4pm. Tickets for the 15th here: eventbrite.com/e/co-creating-…
