News & Views from Justin Wood, framing Emin's article perfectly: "To date, the nature-nurture debate largely stems from different intuitions about the nature of the experiences available for learning." Now, we can test these intuitions computationally! nature.com/articles/s4225…

Babies’ brains are not as immature as previously thought. A new study led by @RhodriCusack, Psychology TCD, finds that infants use period of postnatal ‘helplessness’ to learn powerful foundation models similar to those underpinning generative AI. ➡️tcd.ie/news_events/ar…

Why are human infants helpless for so long? It has been attributed to maternal constraints causing an early birth while the brain is still immature.

What a privilege to talk about our research and see it culminate in artistic work by Cian. I love our inspiring conversations about all things visual and semantic ... I can't wait to see where the work takes us all!
