Can chimp communication guide the future of AI? | Adrian Soldati | TEDxGeneva

Описание: In an increasingly technological and virtual world, where our lives seem to become so distant from each other but also from the natural world, can we remember how we evolved to be the very socially intelligent and successful species we are today? By observing and understanding the rich and complex social lives of wild chimpanzees, sometimes unique and often so similar to ours, Adrian will create an opportunity to look into a mirror to our ancient past while at the same time take a deeper look at the core of our modern social experiences. Adrian is a primatologist doing scientific research on animal behaviour and cognition. He focuses on studying the social behaviours of wild chimpanzees, including how they communicate with sounds and gestures and what this may tell us about the evolution of our language.

He has obtained his master in comparative psychology at the Univerity of St Andrews (UK), his PhD in biology at the University of Neuchâtel, and after a Postdoc in the UK he now holds a Postdoc position at the University of Zürich comparing bonobos and chimpanzees.

He has a passion for photography, which helps him capture the rare moments he observed during his studies in the field.”
