"Instead of trying to produce a program to simulate the adult mind, why not rather try to produce one which simulates the child's?"

 CDS Pre-Conference Workshop

March 21, 2024

9:00 AM to 4:30 PM

Pasadena, California

In 1950, Alan Turing proposed the Turing Test in his seminal Computing Machinery and Intelligence. In this paper, he also suggested building machines that simulate the mind of a child. We propose an interdisciplinary workshop that takes Turing’s ideas into action. We can leverage lessons on how children navigate the world and process information to build machines that learn like humans do. We propose an interdisciplinary workshop that brings together researchers in the cognitive development and artificial intelligence fields. The goals of this workshop include: introducing the cutting-edge research that is being conducted in this intersection, addressing future directions, and raising questions about the field. The format of the workshop consists of experts in this intersection giving talks followed by Q&As. All invited speakers will take part in a panel concluding the workshop.
