Jeff Hawkins
Neuroscientist & Author | The Human Brain & Artificial Intelligence
About
Jeff Hawkins is a neuroscientist, inventor, and author who has made pioneering contributions to AI and our understanding of the human brain. As the founder of Redwood Neuroscience Institute and co-founder of Numenta, he has developed theories of intelligence that bridge neuroscience, computing, and biology.
Hawkins' book 'On Intelligence' explored how the neocortex works, informing the creation of machine learning systems. His insights have influenced the development of AI and inspired a new approach to reverse-engineering the brain.
Hawkins' visionary keynotes equip audiences with a deeper appreciation for the remarkable capabilities of biological intelligence and how they can inform the future of artificial systems.
