SUMMARY:Artificial Intelligence and the Age of Emergence
DESCRIPTION:The universe is made up of things that interact. From microscopic particles in matter to human minds on the internet\, these interactions can produce remarkable examples of “emergence”— complex behavior that cannot be predicted from individual parts.\nPhysicists remain puzzled by emergence\, as it produces remarkable properties observed in some materials. The mystery extends beyond physics to the rise of life\, the existence of consciousness\, and even the spread of internet memes. Melko will follow common threads connecting these phenomena to a recent example of emergence\, artificial intelligence.
