Stanislas Dehaene on why our brains learn better than computers (1/28/20)

The human brain is an extraordinary machine. Its ability to process information and adapt to circumstances by reprogramming itself is unparalleled and it remains the best source of inspiration for recent developments in artificial intelligence. In his new book “How We Learn: Why Brains Learn Better Than Any Machine…for Now,” Stanislas Dehaene decodes the brain's biological mechanisms, delving into the elaborate processes taking place inside our heads. Join us for a discussion of the finer points of the human mind in this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.
