This TED Talk by Surya Ganguli explores the need for a unified science of intelligence to understand both biological and artificial intelligence. Ganguli highlights key areas where AI can improve, including data and energy efficiency, and discusses how understanding biological intelligence (e.g., the brain's predictive energy allocation) can inform the development of better AI. He advocates for a more explainable AI, using the example of a highly accurate model of the retina, and proposes melding minds and machines through bi-directional communication. Ultimately, Ganguli emphasizes the importance of open scientific collaboration to advance this field.
