Internationally renowned specialists in the areas of artificial intelligence and cognitive sciences will participate, from November 8 to 11, of the UFMG Seminar Series on Artificial Intelligence and Intelligence.

The series consists of round tables and seminars that will discuss the main implications of the advance of artificial intelligence for the future of humanity. The debates will address the connection between the latest neuroscience studies on cognitive processes and artificial intelligence, the effects of artificial intelligence on human societies and the ethical implications of its use in the most diverse areas, such as health, economics, work, among others.
