Is love computational? Prompting a response from our Chancellor, Iain McGilchrist, Stephen Wolfram asks whether the complexity of the natural world ultimately emerges from simple computational principles, with uncomplicated systems generating elaborate outputs. McGilchrist holds that reality exceeds computation, revealing itself through participation, experience, and embodiment.
This event was made possible by donors such as the Ben Delo Foundation. To view the whole conversation on the fundamental nature of reality from our symposium AI and the Battle for the Soul, please visit ralston.ac/podcast.
