Why live in the past? Humans reminisce and remember past events, even ‘replaying’ them in the mind’s eye. But why not just live in the moment? What’s the point in devoting mental resources to storing information about the past? Do other animals do this, or is dwelling on the past a uniquely human innovation? And what happens when we build this kind of memory into intelligent machines?
To discuss these questions, we bring together thinkers from philosophy, psychology and computer science for a panel-style event, with discussion questions posed by both the chair and regular questions from the audience.
