A handful of podcasts, labs, projects, and groups which are involved both Neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence:
NeuroAILab: Aim to "reverse engineer" the algorithms of the brain, both to learn about how our minds work and to build more effective artificial intelligence systems.
Learning in Neural Circuits (LiNC) Laboratory: Study general principles of learning and memory in neural networks with the ultimate goal of understanding how real and artificial brains can optimize behaviour.
Human Brain Project: The Human Brain Project (HBP) is building a research infrastructure to help advance neuroscience, medicine and computing. It is one of four FET (Future and Emerging Tehcnology) Flagships, the largest scientific projects ever funded by the European Union.
Center for Brains, Minds and Machines: Understanding how the brain produces intelligent behavior and how we may be able to replicate intelligence in machines is arguably one of the greatest challenges in science and technology. This group brings together computer scientists, cognitive scientists, and neuroscientists to create a new field—the Science and Engineering of Intelligence.
Center for Theoretical Neuroscience: they aim to establish, through the quality of the Center's research, the excellence of its trainees, and the impact of its visitor, dissemination, and outreach programs, a new cooperative paradigm that will move neuroscience to unprecedented levels of discovery and understanding. We believe we have one of the most exciting and interactive environments anywhere for bringing theoretical approaches to Neuroscience.

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have undergone a revolution, catalyzed by better supervised learning algorithms. However, in stark contrast to young animals (including humans), training such networks requires enormous numbers of labeled examples, leading to the belief that animals must rely instead mainly on unsupervised learning. Here we argue that most animal behavior is not the result of clever learning algorithms—supervised or unsupervised—but is encoded in the genome. Specifically, animals are born with highly structured brain connectivity, which enables them to learn very rapidly. Because the wiring diagram is far too complex to be specified explicitly in the genome, it must be compressed through a “genomic bottleneck”. The genomic bottleneck suggests a path toward ANNs capable of rapid learning.
