What does embodied cognitive science have to say about recent developments in AI, and what might these developments reveal about the nature and limits of embodied cognition?

Under the theme “From Embodied AI to LLMs and Back,” the event brings together researchers in neuroscience, robotics, philosophy, cognitive science, and computer science to explore how advances in large language models and generative AI challenge, reinforce, or reorient embodied accounts of mind.
