If you want an expert on how today's AI compares to the human brain, it would be hard to beat an Oxford neuroscientist who also works at DeepMind. That describes Chris Summerfield, who runs Oxford University’s Human Information Processing lab in the Department of Experimental Psychology and author of the upcoming book, "Natural General Intelligence." We have a fascinating discussion about how AI - today's transformers in particular - are like or not like human intelligence.

All this plus our usual look at today's AI headlines.
