It will explore questions such as:\n\nWhat c ognitive capacities\, if any\, do current deep learning systems possess?\n What cognitive capacities might future deep learning systems possess?\nWha t kind of representations can we ascribe to artificial neural networks?\nC ould a large language model genuinely understand language?\nWhat do deep l earning systems tell us about human cognition\, and vice versa?\nHow can w e develop a theoretical understanding of deep learning systems?\nHow do de ep learning systems bear on philosophical debates such as rationalism vs e mpiricism and classical vs. nonclassical views of cognition.\nWhat are the key obstacles on the path from current deep learning systems to human-lev el cognition?\n\nA pre-conference debate on Friday\, March 24th will tackl e the question “Do large language models need sensory grounding for meanin g and understanding ?”.
