Exploring Machine ConsciousnessLenore Blum: AI Consciousness is Inevitable: The Conscious Turing Machine*Lenore refers to a few slides in this podcast; you can see them here. IntroToday's guest, distinguished mathematician and computer scientist Lenore Blum, explains why she and her husband Manuel believe machine consciousness isn't just possible, it's inevitable. Their reasoning? If consciousness is computational (and they're betting it is), and we can mathematically specify those computations, then we can build them. It's that simple, and that profound.In this conversation, host Will Millership and Callum Chace discuss with Lenore:How the Conscious Turing Machine (CTM) draws from and extends t...

London FuturistsAnticipating an Einstein moment in the understanding of consciousness, with Henry ShevlinOur guest in this episode is Henry Shevlin. Henry is the Associate Director of the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence at the University of Cambridge, where he also co-directs the Kinds of Intelligence program and oversees educational initiatives. He researches the potential for machines to possess consciousness, the ethical ramifications of such developments, and the broader implications for our understanding of intelligence. In his 2024 paper, “Consciousness, Machines, and Moral Status,” Henry examines the recent rapid advancements in machine learning and the questions they raise about machine consciousness and moral status. He suggests that public...
