Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence

Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence is a comprehensive interdisciplinary program that integrates the study of artificial intelligence with the study of human cognition. It covers topics from the realms of language, reasoning, learning, vision, and human-human and human-technology interaction. It also deals with ethical and moral aspects of AI. 

In the program, students learn how intelligent systems operate (like self-learning robots, and software that can take over or support human activities), and how this is related to the workings of the human brain. What are the different ways in which computers can learn to solve a problem? Do computers and brains work in a similar way? And how can we make sure that advanced intelligent systems can also ‘explain’ what they do? Students develop skills in programming, computational modelling, Machine Learning and Deep learning, and carry out projects in labs that are specifically equipped for AI research.
