Machines That Think: Opportunities and Dilemmas of Artificial Intelligence

Reflection on artificial intelligence opens many doors and future opportunities: creating intelligence is a great challenge, and today’s technology, especially in the computer sciences is constantly advancing. In this cycle of lectures we explore different kinds of intelligence, ours and those we can, and will be able to produce.

In the ICREA-CCCB Debates, the two institutions regularly work together to present to the public the advances and challenges of high-level research being carried out today here in Catalonia. Each debate will present a project of researchers at the Institució Catalana de Recerca i Estudis Avançats (ICREA – Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies) in different fields of knowledge.
