The Artificial Intelligence Podcast with Lex Fridman – Matt Botvinick: Neuroscience, Psychology, and AI at DeepMind

Matt Botvinick is the director of neuroscience research at DeepMind.

My sense of wonder comes not from the distant, mysterious stars, but the extremely, intimately close brain.

Information Processing

Meta learning

A blind spot for at least robotics is human-robot, human-agent interaction.

The prefrontal cortex

We don’t understand our brain very much

When you look carefully at functional differentiation in the brain what you usually end up concluding is that the difference between regions is graded rather than being discrete.

Meta-learning, by definition, is a situation in which you have a learning algorithm and the learning algorithm operates in such a way that it gives rise to another learning algorithm.

Understanding the brain contd.

It’s made most clear in reinforcement learning where you can only learn as much as you can simulate.
