Summary:
In a world transformed by artificial intelligence, the human brain is still able to perform intellectual feats that cannot be replicated. AI can write Shakespearean poetry, steer cars, beat a grandmaster at chess and even pass the bar exam, but why does it struggle with seemingly simple tasks like loading a dishwasher? Finding the answer requires diving into the billion-year history of how the human brain evolved, combining evolutionary neuroscience with cutting-edge AI research. Our brains have secrets to share, and the future of AI may depend on understanding them.
