GrowAI Seminars is an online series organized by the Growing AI Like a Child team. We invite researchers from AI, developmental psychology, cognitive science, and related fields to share insights and work toward understanding how artificial intelligence systems can develop more human-like capabilities through developmental trajectories similar to those of children.
