interactive intelligence(i2)
i2 is UW's student-led NeuroAI education and research organization. We aim to create a community of project-driven, outcome-oriented students interested in the intersections of artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and philosophy. We are interested in how machines can learn like humans.
