The incredible explosion in the power of artificial intelligence is evident in daily headlines proclaiming big breakthroughs. What are the remaining differences between machine and human intelligence? Could we simulate a brain on current computer hardware if we could write the software? What are the latest advancements in the world's largest brain model?

Participate in the discussion about what AI has done and how far it has yet to go, while discovering new technologies that might allow it to get there.
