Intelligence is often measured by facts known and judgements made. Schools reward memorization, work requires discernment, while AI now reduces intelligence to calculation. But intelligence is more than what can be counted, calculated, or measured. Join award-winning cognitive scientist Alison Gopnik, who studies the role of play and curiosity, and clinical psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen, the world’s leading autism expert, to explore what the human mind is, how modern education and technology are reshaping how we think, and what is at risk when we mistake a computer's appearance of thought for thought itself.
"It's rare to come across a surprising new idea, but Simon Baron-Cohen's is one of them." — Steven Pinker
