2
The Mission of the AI Lab
  • To answer How does the human mind work?
  • Where does the mind reside?
  • What is the nature of memory?
  • What are the roles of emotions?
  • What sort of representations does the brain use?
  • What does our visual system compute?
  • How did evolution shape us?
  • How do we learn?
  • What is consciousness?

3
What Do We Really Do?
  • Try to build intelligent systems
  • often application driven
  • can be internally motivated (faculty or students)
  • can be motivated by sponsors
  • Always try to do intellectually exciting things
  • Put things together in larger scale ways than
    others might dare
  • way cool to do so
  • get to explore (first) different aspects of
    intellectual space than others might be stuck in
