Launched in September 2022, Harvard’s Kempner Institute for the Study of Natural and Artificial Intelligence stands at the intersection of neuroscience and machine learning, seeking to better understand the basis of intelligence in human and artificial systems for the benefit of humanity.
Funded with a transformative gift from Priscilla Chan AB ’07 and Mark Zuckerberg LLD ’17, COL ’06, the institute aims to solve grand challenges by spurring collaboration across biological, cognitive, engineering, and computational perspectives at an unparalleled scale.
“Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg have given us an incredible opportunity to take what we know about the brain, about neuroscience, and about how to model intelligence and put them together in ways that can advance our understanding of intelligence from multiple perspectives.”
