Why the Honey Bee is Smarter than ChatGPT – Discover Lecture Series with Macquarie
Organisation: Macquarie University
Location: Macquarie University, Wallumattagal Campus
Date: Tuesday 18 August 2026
How smart is the honey bee really? This lecture considers the biological marvel that is the honey bee brain, and the bee mind it supports.
Bees’ brains incorporate rapid feedback on their actions, and can quickly learn different types of art, recognise abstract concepts and learn to navigate for kilometres around their hives. Professor Andrew Barron argues the honey bee is significantly smarter than ChatGPT and surpasses the best that contemporary AI has to offer. He will discuss what lessons AI and robotics developers could learn from consideration of the humble bee.
This event is part of Macquarie’s Discover Lecture Series, monthly talks suitable for ages 10 and up that offer inspiring insights and a glimpse into the technological advancements shaping our future.
