Self-Constructing Bodies, Collective Minds: The Intersection of CS, Cognitive Bio, and Philosophy

73 min • 28 november 2024

This is a 1 hour 12 minute talk presented at the 2nd Symposium on the Philosophy of Computing at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. It covers the ways in which biological computation is different from most of today's computer architectures, and concludes with a different way to think about emergence of cognition (not just complexity or unpredictability) in a way that informs how we think about biological and artificial intelligences.
