Synthetic consciousness

Exploring the science and ethics of building machines that don't just compute, but experience.

In this episode of Neural Abyss, we explore one of the most intriguing and complex questions of our time: synthetic consciousness. What does it mean for a machine to feel? Can we create AI that possesses self-awareness or subjective experiences similar to humans? We discuss whether AI can have inner experiences, or if consciousness is inherently tied to biological beings. We discuss neuromorphic computing as well as the debate of emergent consciousness and biological limitations. You'll hear about the challenges in defining and testing consciousness, and why this question continues to baffle scientists and philosophers. We’ll also cover ethical, legal and societal implications that could arise if synthetic beings become part of our world.
