/ About this event

What does it mean for something to be conscious—and are we about to build it?

An evening salon bringing neuroscience and AI into the same room. Explore theories of consciousness, altered states, animal consciousness, brain injury, artificial intelligence, and the uncomfortable question of how we would recognize consciousness in a machine.

Drinks encouraged. Certainty discouraged. This event is a part of #SFTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
