What does it actually take to build a mind? Cognitive scientist Danielle Perszyk sits down with world-class researchers, academics, and industry pioneers to explore the science of intelligence — from its evolutionary and cultural origins to the frontiers of AI. Challenging simplistic narratives about the race to superintelligence, each conversation unpacks how humans think, learn, and collaborate, and what that means for the machines we're building.
