AI Consciousness with Matthew Sheffield

About this episode

Matthew Sheffield discusses the complexities of consciousness in the age of AI.

My guest this week is Matthew Sheffield, a writer, producer, and media entrepreneur. He hosts The Theory of Change podcast on The Flux network and when he’s not writing about our current political chaos he’s working away at an equally hard problem, that of consciousness in the age of AI.
