Practical Consciousness Theory for AI System Design - Hugging Face This integration governs both the state of consciousness (whether awake or asleep) and its content (such as concrete experiences or phenomenal consciousness, or p-consciousness) Bottom-up integration flows through the basal dendrites of L5p neurons, while top-down integration occurs through recurrent connections with other cortical areas and
The moral weight of AI consciousness | MIT Technology Review The perception of consciousness and the reality of consciousness are poorly aligned, and that discrepancy will only worsen as AI systems become capable of engaging in more realistic conversations
[2308. 08708] Consciousness in Artificial Intelligence: Insights from . . . Whether current or near-term AI systems could be conscious is a topic of scientific interest and increasing public concern This report argues for, and exemplifies, a rigorous and empirically grounded approach to AI consciousness: assessing existing AI systems in detail, in light of our best-supported neuroscientific theories of consciousness We survey several prominent scientific theories of
AI Consciousness Unfolded | Towards Data Science Integration is a measure of how much this information relies on the group of neurons being a unified it may not say anything about the consciousness of an AI Perhaps Φ happens to change with consciousness in a human because of how our brains are structured and constrained, but has no correlation with consciousness in an artificial brain
If AI becomes conscious, how will we know? - Science | AAAS Another, the Global Neuronal Workspace Theory, contends that consciousness arises when independent streams of information pass through a bottleneck to combine in a workspace analogous to a computer clipboard Higher Order Theories suggest consciousness involves a process of representing and annotating basic inputs received from the senses
#1568: A Process-Relational Philosophy View on AI, Intelligence . . . There’s a lot of more pernicious metaphors that reductive materialists have about humans are, and so this conversation helps to recenter the AI Hyped conversations into a much more process-relational context Segall, M D (2025) The Philosophical Implications of Artificial Intelligence In: Hoffmann, C H , Bansal, D (eds) AI Ethics in
From Matrices to Metaphysics: Interpreting Human Perception, Spiritual . . . 14 Integrating All Dimensions: Mathematics, AI, Humanity, and God The metaphor’s strength is its integrative nature It uses computation to illuminate spiritual questions, theology to contextualize cognition, and philosophy to mediate between them Matrices symbolize finite understanding; AI’s forward backward passes mirror human learning
Can AI Develop Consciousness: What the Research Says | Neuroba The question of whether artificial intelligence (AI) can develop consciousness is one that continues to intrigue and perplex scientists, philosophers, and technologists alike As AI systems become increasingly advanced, the boundary between machine intelligence and human cognition becomes blurrier, prompting deeper exploration into the nature of consciousness itself At Neuroba, we investigate
Ascribing consciousness to artificial intelligence: human-AI . . . The question of whether artificial intelligence (AI) can be considered conscious and therefore should be evaluated through a moral lens has surfaced in recent years “The information integration theory of consciousness,” The Blackwell companion to consciousness Eds M Velmans and S Schneider (Oxford: Blackwell; ), 287–299 [Google
