Join us for an entertaining and illuminating evening exploring the science behind intelligence featuring a screening of Ridley Scott’s sci-fi masterpiece Blade Runner, and a lecture by David Klindt Ph,D of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Science on Screen ® - BLADE RUNNER: CRACKING THE CODE OF INTELLIGENCE - Tuesday, May 12th at 7:30 PM
Harrison Ford stars in director Ridley Scott’s dark vision of the near future as a policeman who tracks engineered humans - a Blade Runner. In the year 2019, the police department forces Rick Deckard (Ford) out of retirement to hunt four genetically engineered humans. Designed to do difficult, hazardous work, the manufactured humans are stronger, faster and smarter than non-engineered humans. They feel no pain or remorse; they are almost indistinguishable from other humans.. and they are killing people. Now Deckard must stop them before they kill again. (USA, 1982, 117 mins, English | Dir. Ridley Scott)
David Klindt Ph,D is an Assistant Professor at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory on a mission to “crack the code” of intelligence. Whether it’s a biological brain or a silicon-based AI, David views them both as giant, complex neural networks trying to make sense of a chaotic world. With a background that spans from deep philosophy to advanced mathematics, he develops theories on how we all learn to “chop up reality” in the same way.
