How do we come to have free will? Did it evolve with our brains? Could Artificial Intelligence evolve free will? The debate among scientists and philosophers about free will is heating up as research in neuroscience is exploding. As technological advancements blur the lines between humans and machines, the concept of free will becomes increasingly complex.
Professor Kevin Mitchell will help us explore these questions in our annual NI Humanists Darwin Day Lecture.. Kevin is Associate Professor of Genetics and Neuroscience at Trinity College Dublin. His books include Innate: How The Wiring of Our Brain Shapes Who We Are.
