Ryan is joined by Professor Tom Griffiths, head of the Computational Cognitive Science Lab at Princeton University, to discuss findings from his new book *the Laws of Thought*, which explores the history of the ideology, mathematics, and logic that underlie artificial intelligence, and scientists’ efforts to describe our minds using mathematics.
They discuss the challenges of understanding human cognition, the implications of probabilistic AI “thinking,” and where Aristotle fits into the philosophical discussions we’re having on consciousness and sentience in AI.
The Laws of Thought details our quest to use mathematics to describe the ways we think, from its origins three hundred years ago to the ideas behind modern AI systems and how our human minds differ from the neural networks of AI.
