Sustained, research-led online discussion across the sciences of intelligence; the regular form of conversation that conferences, by their nature, cannot supply.
Seminar Groups are, in our view, the form of academic exchange that conferences cannot supply. Conferences are intense and finite; the groups, by contrast, are designed for continuity. Ideas, on closer inspection, require both: a meeting at which they are announced and a regular interval at which they are tested.
The groups convene online, on a regular schedule, in small sessions. Curation balances technical depth with interdisciplinary accessibility. The setting is one in which researchers, students, and practitioners may present work in progress, explore open problems and engage in the technically grounded, methodologically careful dialogue by which, in our experience, a scientific community holds itself together.
✦ ThAT Thursdays: Fellowship Seminars Christopher Hillar We are pleased to announce an upcoming session of the Thinking About Thinking Fellowship Seminar Series, bringing together researchers and entrepreneurs working at the frontier of intelligence across AI, neuroscience, mathematics, and cognitive science.

The AE Global Summit Open Problems For AI | 25–27 November is the is the Annual Meeting of the institution and its principal international gathering. Over three days it convenes the researchers, engineers, founders, and policymakers most directly engaged with artificial intelligence, and examines how the technical, the institutional, and the cultural dimensi…
Register on Luma →How learning systems generalise and how they fail.
Read more →The computational principles of perception, memory and behaviour, drawn from the brains that exhibit them.
Read more →Mental representations, cognitive mechanisms and behaviour and what we are to make of them.
Read more →Intelligence under the constraints of the physical world.
Read more →The formal structures that govern learning, generalisation and inference.
Read more →Intelligence as an emergent property of living and adaptive systems.
Read more →The brain as a device for computation, broadly conceived.
Read more →How biological and artificial systems represent the world and what happens when their representations diverge.
Read more →Ambassadors may, where the local setting allows, organise viewing groups and convene the seminars within their own institutions. Sustained contribution to the Seminar Groups is, in our experience, one of the more reliable routes to the invitation-only Fellowship, which carries access to private seminars and direct correspondence with speakers.
