First Annual Gumerman Lecture

Join Honors for the first Gumerman Professor in Honors Public Lecture, “Will Robots Ever (Really) Think?” with Dr. Paul Flikkema at 7pm on Wednesday, October 21. This event will be held entirely remotely on our NAU Honors College YouTube channel.

Paul Flikkema Research

Our abilities as humans seem amazing to us, and we have always wondered how our brain gives us these abilities. The explosive growth of computing power in the last half century makes us ask: Will computers someday have something like `intelligence’, with the thinking power of a brain? This talk explores this question by discussing the state of the art of computing, the idea of artificial intelligence, successes and failures, and possible avenues for further development.

Questions can be submitted during the event for Dr. Flikkema to respond to. We look forward to you joining us!

This event can be used by current NAU Honors College students as an Honors Exploration event.
