Professor Dong Song, Research Associate Professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Southern California
Open Philanthropy spoke with Prof. Dong Song of the University of Southern California as part of its investigation of what we can learn from the brain about the computational power (“compute”) sufficient to match human-level task performance. The conversation focused on Prof. Song’s experience building hippocampal prostheses, and on his views about the level of modeling complexity necessary to reproduce the brain’s intelligence.
