Overview
The ShanghAI Lectures on embodied intelligence will be broadcast by videoconference from University of Zurich to universities across the planet, complemented by 3D collaborative virtual environments and other community-building activities to promote interaction and cooperation among the participants. The ShanghAI Lectures project is designed to contribute to the fundamental goal of making education and knowledge on cutting-edge scientific topics accessible to everyone on the planet. On the basis of state-of-the-art technology and novel methods of knowledge transfer and community building, it attempts to overcome the complexity of a multi-cultural and interdisciplinary learning context and bring global teaching to a new level. We believe that global teaching can be a fantastic tool to create an intercultural discourse to bring people from different backgrounds together, who would not otherwise share common activities. The ShanghAI Lectures will be about embodied intelligence because humans from the very beginning of their history have always been fascinated by the topic and it is highly valued by our society. Embodiment has implications not only for science and technology robotics, artificial intelligence, behavioral and neuroscience but also for society at large. It will also change the way we view ourselves and the world around us.Material
