Session 28 - Intelligences - Alice and Bob's adventures in wonderlands of Reason
Published: | at 14:00 CET In this talk, Pierre Bessière presents the central ideas of his new book: why having a body fundamentally shapes intelligence, why disembodied AI systems depend on humans for meaning, and how natural agents remain necessarily ignorant of the world they act in. He contrasts two models of reasoning: logic and probability, arguing that only probabilistic reasoning allows intelligences to act meaningfully under uncertainty.
