Patterns of Thought

Patterns of Thought is a public lecture on artificial intelligence and cognitive science that I gave in September 2025, part of the University of Michigan Psychology Department's Exploring the Mind series, hosted by the Ann Arbor District Library. The talk traces the history of artificial intelligence and asks what today's AI systems can teach us about the nature of the human mind. Watch the recording below, or see the library's event page.
