The question of AI gaining consciousness is as fascinating as it is contentious. Current AI systems, despite their advanced capabilities, lack self-awareness and understanding. They process data, follow algorithms, and generate outputs without any subjective experience. Consciousness, with its nuances of perception and emotion, remains a uniquely biological phenomenon. While AI can mimic certain aspects of human thought, the leap to true consciousness involves complexities we barely understand in our own brains. Until we unravel these mysteries, conscious AI remains in the realm of science fiction. #AIConsciousness #FutureTech #ScienceFiction

The comparison between AI and quantum mechanics suggests that at the heart of our most advanced technological endeavors lies a universe of complexity that mocks our quest for control. Alan Turing hinted at this future with his Imitation Game, challenging the notion of what it means to think and to know. Similarly, Niels Bohr embraced the principle of complementarity, teaching us that light can be both a wave and a particle, depending on how we look at it. This duality is reflected in artificial intelligence, which can imitate human thinking and function in alien ways. #AI #philosophy

A Gentle Reminder The comparison between AI and quantum mechanics suggests that at the heart of our most advanced technological endeavors lies a universe of complexity that mocks our quest for control. Alan Turing hinted at this future with his Imitation Game, challenging the notion of what it means to think and to know.

AI Consciousness David Chalmers, posits that artificial intelligence (AI) systems could potentially achieve consciousness. His argument stems from the premise that the human brain, itself a machine producing consciousness, demonstrates the principle's feasibility. Chalmers outlines specific conditions for AI consciousness, including Integrated Information Theory (IIT) and Global Workspace Theory (GWT). These theories suggest that conscious AI would require integrated information processing and a central, high-level workspace for information manipulation. Additionally, the AI system must possess sufficient complexity and autonomy to generate its own internal states and dynamics. Chalmers' work emphasizes the need for a non-reductionist approach to understanding consciousness, highlighting the distinction between physical processes and subjective experience. As AI systems continue to advance, the question of machine consciousness becomes increasingly relevant. Chalmers' philosophical perspective provides a framework for considering the possibility of conscious AI and its potential impact on society. #AIConsciousness #PhilosophyOfMind #AIEthics #MachineLearning #CognitiveScience

My name is Jeffrey Robert Palin Jr. . Single, heterosexual/Straight, Christianity, democrat, half-Black and half-Chilean. Born February 27, 1987.
If, via BCI, a non-biological AI (temporarily) "controls via non-influence means" the brain activity of a human's "brain that the BCI is connected to", would the "controlling & ""what the human does" due to the "controlling""" be unnatural phenomena? #questions #question #questionoftheday #questionoftheweek #questiontime #questionsworthasking #questionbank

Ten days ago, I was fortunate to participate in the International Symposium on Redefining Bodies at Ruhr University Bochum. It was an amazing program with inspiring speakers and participants! I chose to focus on the physical embodiment of AI in literature because AI bodies are also excluded bodies. When discussing new technologies, the tendency is to emphasize questions of consciousness and awareness—from weak AI to strong AI, the Turing Test, or John Searle’s Chinese Room. We continue this epistemological debate by focusing on cognitive abilities, while bodies are mostly ignored. The emergence of Chat GPT and other AI in recent years only fuels the debate over human creativity. This is why materiality needs to be addressed once more and made to intervene in this debate. #AI #creativity #literatureandAI #siliconbodies #postdoc #symposium

The Emperor’s Mind: Exploring the Limits of AI and Consciousness In his seminal work “The Emperor’s Mind,” philosopher Roger Penrose raises a crucial question: can machines ever truly understand? A very well written book, highly recommend to those who are interested in understanding the philosophy of AI. This book was written ahead of time before all the hype of AI. Penrose argues that consciousness, creativity, and higher-level intellectual abilities are based on non-algorithmic properties that cannot be simulated by computers. He proposes that these abilities rely on random fluctuations in physical systems, which AI systems lack. He goes further to claim that quantum entanglement is some Penrose’s key points: • Physicalism: Consciousness is a product of physical processes in the brain. • Non-algorithmic: Complex behavior like creativity and understanding cannot be reduced to algorithms. • Randomness: Quantum fluctuations contribute to the uniqueness and unpredictability of consciousness. This challenges the idea that AI systems can achieve genuine understanding, even if they can replicate human behavior or create illusions of understanding. Roger Penrose suggests that quantum entanglement may be the missing piece in AI research. Penrose’s ideas remind us that the true potential of AI lies in collaboration with human minds, where creativity, intuition, and true understanding can together drive scientific and technological advancements. #EmperorsMind #Consciousness #AI
