Lucy Cheke is a Professor of Experimental Psychology at The University of Cambridge, who studies memory, cognition, and what it means to think. As AI systems grow increasingly capable, her research asks a new question: How does Human cognition compare to Artificial Intelligence?

In this episode of Bridging The Gap, we discuss the concepts of AI cognition vs human cognition, theory of mind, and try to understand whether or not the AI models we see today are truly thinking, or possess any real knowledge.

Bridging The Gap is a new podcast series, produced by Red Cap Media, seeking to dive deeper into scientific topics, and bring forward discussions on a broad range of areas.

Konstantinos Voudouris is a cognitive scientist at the AI Security Institute (AISI) whose research is aimed at providing the world with a deeper understanding of rapidly evolving AI models.

In this episode of Bridging The Gap, we speak about the hype surrounding AI, the concept of AGI, and dive deeper into the real world capabilities and threats that new AI models could present.

Science has never moved faster.

In a time full of misinformation and click bait headlines, I have never been more confused about what to believe.

I'm Eddie, a PhD student at the University of Cambridge, and I am travelling the UK, sitting down with the world's leading researchers to cut through the noise and get to the truth. This is my attempt to bridge the gap between the people doing the most important research in the world, and the people who need to hear it.
