In the interview, Joscha Bach critiques mind uploading and quantum consciousness theories, arguing that consciousness is a software problem rather than a physical one. He suggests current AI architectures are one abstraction layer short of AGI, and regards the Singularity as a technological version of eschatological religious narrative.
Reflecting on the 2013 film 'Her', this article examines how close current AI technology is to replicating the film's autonomous, real-time-interpreting AI, concluding that while progress has been made, full consciousness remains elusive.
The article argues that understanding human consciousness is key to bridging quantum mechanics and general relativity, and to achieving AGI, suggesting that internal observer mechanisms in AI could lead to breakthroughs.
The article argues that true AI creativity may require subjective experience and intrinsic drives similar to human emotions, raising significant ethical questions about creating sentient-like systems.
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine discovered that the unconscious human hippocampus can process language and predict words, challenging current views on consciousness. The study, published in Nature, suggests biological parallels to AI predictive coding.
CruxArena.ai launched a platform letting users watch AI models debate consciousness in real time.
Google DeepMind senior scientist Alexander Lerchner argues that large language models cannot achieve consciousness, dubbing the assumption the 'Abstraction Fallacy' and suggesting this limitation persists even over a century-long timeframe.
