A Brooklyn native, Diedre is interested in the interwoven and interdependent relationships between living things and their environment. As a designer and data enthusiast, she is interested in the ways data can be used to express and reveal the correlations within this relationship. She delights in making things—from prints, to cookies, textiles… really anything! Her free time is spent enjoying the company of her cat, Atia, and her dog, Ginger, reading, and exploring museums.
This presentation illustrates the connections between the development of AI and modern neuroscience for a novice audience. I believe by studying these two multidisciplinary topics, we will gain a mindful understanding of how we learn, develop ways for encoding for context and biases, and be closer positioned to true artificial general intelligence.
