IASI contributes to the Encuentros CAJAL – Italy, held in the CNR headquarters on 26-11-2024, devoted to Neuroscience-Inspired Next Generation AI. To commemorate the 90th anniversary of the death of the Spanish neuroscientist Santiago Ramón y Cajal, the Embassy of Spain in Italy and the European Brain Research Institute ‘Rita Levi-Montalcini’ (EBRI) are co-organizing the ‘Encuentros Cajal Italy’. The event is held in the framework of the Spanish 2024-2025 ‘Encuentros Cajal’ initiative, which pays tribute to the Nobel Laureate in different countries. The project has a dual purpose: to foster collaboration and synergies between scientists, towards a knowledge sharing
network; to promote “open science”, outreach and dissemination activities for the general public.
The Rome event will explore the bidirectional interactions between Neurosciences and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Neuroscience has been a critical driver of progress in AI, however the current pace of dramatic developments makes communication and collaboration between the two fields difficult, but also urgent. We shall discuss the role of brain understanding in accelerating AI research, and, reciprocally, the symmetric role of Neuroscience-inspired ideas that will lead to the next generation of AI technologies. What can Neuroscience teach AI? How can AI increase our understanding of
brain functions? The cross-talk of ideas between AI and Neuroscience will create a “virtuous cycle” at their intersection, advancing the knowledge in unforeseen directions – but only if there is a large enough community of scholars and researchers fluent in both domains. We must train a new generation of AI researchers who are equally at home in engineering/computational science and Neuroscience. And vice versa.
