Anthony Zador, MD, PhD, is the Alle Davis Harris Professor of Biology at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory,
where he served as Chair of Neuroscience. His work explores the intersection of neuroscience and artificial intelligence.
His lecture "A Neuroscientist's Guide To Artificial Intelligence" was held on March 31, 2025.
Dr. Zador explored how reverse engineering the brain’s computations has driven progress
in both fields, and how this back-and-forth between neuroscience and AI is set to grow even stronger — with brain-inspired
designs driving new AI advances while AI tools transform our understanding of how the brain works.
Dr. Zador was named one of Foreign Policy’s 100 Leading Global Thinkers and is a
recipient of the Brain Research Foundation Fellowship, the Gill Symposium Transformative Investigator Award, and
the Allen Distinguished Investigator Award.
