All of us in the Quest are on a journey together.
During the afternoon of Monday, November 24, faculty, students, research scientists, staff, and supporters gathered to celebrate the next stage in the Quest's journey at a special event. We shared research updates and had a sneak peek at new and upcoming projects. The event was recorded and is available on our YouTube channel.

Afternoon
Mission Update: Development of Intelligence
Imagine a machine that grows into intelligence the way a person does – that starts like a baby and learns like a child, and the mechanisms that enable that mirror those operating in the developing human brain.
Presenters: Laura Schulz, John and Dorothy Wilson Professor and Associate Department Head (BCS)
Josh Tenenbaum, Professor of Computational Cognitive Science (BCS), SQI Director of Science
Panel Discussion on the refreshed integrated vision of the Quest’s research efforts, opened with a context-setting presentation
Participants include Prof. Josh Tenenbaum (moderator), Dr. David M. Siegel, Prof. Ev Fedorenko, Prof. Rebecca Saxe, and Prof. Nick Roy
Poster Session with Reception
Research Scientists, Students, and Post-docs will present recent research from the Quest.
