The Swiss Society of New York, in collaboration with Olivier Thevoz of THEVOZ, hosts the SSNY Speaker Series. We meet every first Thursday of the month (date may vary based on holidays) to discuss finance, technology, health and arts.

We are pleased to invite you to our next SSNY Speaker Series event:

How does Artificial Intelligence compare to the Human Brain?

While AI is advancing at an extraordinary pace, the human brain remains one of the most complex and remarkable systems in existence.

Join us for an insightful evening with Dr. Daniel W. Zumofen, a Swiss-trained neurosurgeon specializing in cerebrovascular and endovascular neurosurgery, Director of Vascular Neurosurgery at Maimonides Neurosciences Institute, and Associate Professor of Neurosurgery at the University of Basel.

Drawing on his medical and scientific expertise, Dr. Zumofen will explore the fundamental differences between how the human brain functions and how artificial intelligence processes information. The discussion will examine the fascinating distinctions between biological intelligence and machine learning, and what they reveal about the future of AI and our understanding of the human mind.

An engaging opportunity to discover, learn and reflect on one of today's most fascinating topics.
