Understanding the Human Mind through Biology and AI
36:07 - 46:35 (10:28)
The speaker discusses how understanding basic building blocks of biology can help simulate and model larger, more complex systems within the human body, potentially unlocking insights into the mind's unique qualities. Building AI can also aid in this understanding by allowing for comparisons between machine intelligence and human consciousness.
