Do AI Models Think? AI & Cognitive Ability | Prof. Lucy Cheke

Lucy Cheke is a Professor of Experimental Psychology at The University of Cambridge, who studies memory, cognition, and what it means to think. As AI systems grow increasingly capable, her research asks a new question: How does Human cognition compare to Artificial Intelligence?

In this episode of Bridging The Gap, we discuss the concepts of AI cognition vs human cognition, theory of mind, and try to understand whether or not the AI models we see today are truly thinking, or possess any real knowledge.

Bridging The Gap is a new podcast series, produced by Red Cap Media, seeking to dive deeper into scientific topics, and bring forward discussions on a broad range of areas.
