The Data Science and AI Institute selected seven Bloomberg Distinguished Professorship research clusters to recruit senior faculty. Among them is an Artificial and Natural Intelligence cluster, led by Profs. Leyla Isik, Kyle Rawlins, and Alan Yuille, that includes 3 BDP positions. Recruitment kicks off in 2025.
Artificial and Natural Intelligence Cluster
This cluster seeks to address key questions about the nature of intelligence in both natural and artificial systems, such as: How do current artificial intelligence systems contrast to natural intelligence theories and findings? Can natural intelligence theories improve modern AI systems? Are there novel computational theories of AI and natural intelligence that not only build on and account for natural intelligence findings but also result in much more effective AI? This cluster aims to connect researchers working in vision, language, causal inference, and their interaction, and will hire leaders that focus on understanding and building intelligent systems that include a combination of human behavior, the human brain, and state-of-the-art AI models.
