As we stand on the precipice of a new era, rapid advancements in artificial intelligence promise to reshape not only our understanding of the human brain but also to impact its very evolution. The fusion of AI and brain science will undoubtedly forge the future of our species. BrainMind warmly invites you to the BrainMind(AI) private roundtable. We’ll first gather on Sunday, October 22nd from 6-9:30pm for a dinner reception with a slightly larger group. Monday, October 23, 2023, an exclusive discussion will unfold from 9:00am to 5:00pm, where the worlds of neuroscience, AI, and the evolving landscape of intelligence intersect.

This inaugural event, "BrainMind(AI): The Next Decade," thrusts us into a contemplative leap forward, envisioning the future of AI and neurobiology. The world's brightest minds, comprising scientists, visionaries, and thought leaders who stand on the cutting edge of AI and the Brain, will probe the fusion of AI and neuroscience, exploring contemporary scientific insights and philosophical perspectives. Together, we'll contribute to the burgeoning ecosystem that fuels and propels long-term initiatives in this transformative field. The intimate size of our inaugural BrainMind(AI) gathering is designed to cultivate engaged discourse around the very frontiers of knowledge.
