Sanjoy Chowdhury reveals AI's hidden weakness: while systems can see objects and hear sounds perfectly, they can't reason across senses like humans do. His research at University of Maryland College Park, including the Meerkat model and AVTrustBench, exposes why AI recognizes worried faces and thunder separately but fails to connect them—and what this means for self-driving cars and medical AI.
