Why AI isn't going to become conscious | Anil Seth
About this episode
Anil Seth discusses the misconception of AI consciousness and the human tendency to attribute inner life to machines.
We see consciousness in AI the same way we see faces in clouds, says neuroscientist Anil Seth. He explores the all-too-human tendency to project inner life onto machines that are brilliant mimics, not sentient beings, and gives a definitive answer to the urgent question: Will AI ever gain consciousness?
