It’s a pleasure to invite you to our online event below, with as a special guest Jay McClelland, coeditor of the 1986 PDP books on connectionist (neural network / machine learning) models of intelligence, perception,
language & the mind, providing a perspective on the open challenges for AI.

The future of AI is human
The SAILS AI research initiative at Leiden University is inviting you to come and join us for an exciting event on the intersection of AI
& art, science and society, on Tuesday December 15, 16.30-18.30 CET, on the SAILS YouTube channel. Free
registration here and info
on the SAILS
website.
We are not alone anymore. Artificial Intelligence is changing society, for better or for worse, and we will need to find new ways to relate to our artificial counterparts. Will our joint future be symbiotic, antagonistic or more one of
fruitful collaboration? And what can we actually learn from the AI about what makes us human – perhaps even beyond intelligence? What are the grand challenges that are still out there, and do we even know how to begin to tackle them?
SAILS, the Leiden University wide research program on AI, has the pleasure to invite you to a livestream talk show on December 15, where we invite artists, scientists and designers to debate and imagine our future with AI, through a whirlwind
of very current yet not so middle-of-the-road artworks and research projects.
Jay McClelland from Stanford University, whose books on neural networks launched the previous AI summer in the eighties, will conclude the event with his thoughts on the big pieces of puzzle still missing and reflect on our long-term future
with AI.
