Grounding AI: Lessons from the Human Brain
As artificial intelligence grows more powerful, the question of how AI models connect to real-world has become more critical than ever. In this session, we'll explore why grounding is essential for AI systems to reason reliably and meaningfully. Drawing on the latest neurological research, we'll uncover how human beings build and use internal "world models" to ground their understanding and decision-making. By bridging some aspects of neuroscience and AI, this talk will highlight practical implications for building more robust, trustworthy AI systems — and inspire new ways to think about the future of intelligent machines.
