Modelling minds: can computers mimic human intelligence? For many years, psychologists and neuroscientists have sought to uncover how the mind functions, while computer scientists have attempted to reproduce human-like capabilities in machines. Or are you smarter than computers? What are computational models?

And in our century there’s a new and yet more powerful one: computation. And for nearly 50 years I’ve had the great privilege of building an ever taller tower of science and technology based on that idea of computation. And I ended that talk with a question: is computation ultimately what’s underneath everything in our universe?
