Stephen Grossberg
Cognitive scientist Stephen Grossberg explores Adaptive Resonance Theory and how the brain learns without forgetting. He connects resonant brain states to consciousness, vision, language, and the hard problem of qualia, while weighing in on deep learning, AI industry politics, and whether today’s systems can achieve general intelligence.
