The people who think AI might become conscious
www.bbc.co.uk
With a leap in the evolution of large language models, some leading thinkers are questioning whether AI might become sentient

Do you think AI is, or could become, conscious?

I think AI might one day emulate consciousness to a high level of accuracy, but that wouldn’t mean it would actually be conscious.

This article mentions a Google engineer who “argued that AI chatbots could feel things and potentially suffer”. But surely in order to “feel things” you would need a nervous system right? When you feel pain from touching something very hot, it’s your nerves that are sending those pain signals to your brain… right?

    But I still don’t see this paper really doing much in DEFINING Consciousness, it’s more defining what it isn’t.

    Yeah there’s no clear definition in there. The paper fails to do what it was purported to do.
