Finding equivalence between natural and artificial intelligences

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize many Australian industries and sectors, including healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, and education. However, AI systems do not make decisions in the same way that humans do. Without a detailed understanding of the capabilities and limitations of AI, we risk both trusting AI when we shouldnt, and failing to use AI when we should. By combining insights from philosophy and neuroscience, this project will create the first set of principles for comparing natural and artificial intelligence. It will develop and disseminate best practice guidelines for determining how and where artificial intelligence might be applied. Through workshops that bring together government policy makers and industry working in AI, these tools will help to guide and inform future approaches to AI, reducing potential risks, and enabling the devel
