After Morning Minyan, join Rabbi Lizzi in conversation with Josh Cynamon, who studies cognitive science and AI as a PhD candidate at Indiana University, about the ups, downs and cautions he sees in the emergence of Artificial Intelligence.

Bio: Josh Cynamon studied math as an undergrad at WashU, and trying to understand how different people think differently about math was key to him ending up studying cognitive science. Between 2001 and 2021, Josh worked most of his career in renewable energy, first wind, then solar (and wind), and then battery storage (and solar and wind). He found his way to graduate school at University of Indiana Bloomington in Fall, 2021 to study cognitive science, and the timing was such that he got to study cognition in both humans and the quickly developing AI models of the last few years. His goal is to work in AI policy once he’s completed his degree.
