Having dedicated his career to understanding human brains, Eagleman shared his perspective in Newsweek's AI Impact interview series with Marcus Weldon.

The article "Mind and Machine: David Eagleman on What the Brain Can Teach Us About AI" discusses neuroscientist David Eagleman's insights into the parallels between human brain function and artificial intelligence (AI). Eagleman explores how understanding the brain's ability to process information, adapt, and learn can inform the development of AI. He highlights the brain's capacity for neuroplasticity, suggesting that AI could benefit from similar adaptability to learn from new experiences continuously. Eagleman also touches on the ethical implications of AI, emphasizing the need for AI systems to incorporate human values and ethics, much like the brain integrates societal norms. He argues that while AI might mimic human cognitive processes, the essence of human consciousness and emotion remains uniquely biological, posing challenges for AI to fully replicate human-like intelligence. The piece concludes with Eagleman's vision of a future where AI and human intelligence could synergistically enhance each other, potentially leading to new forms of intelligence.
