• Anthropic: Could AI models be conscious?

As we build AI systems, and as they begin to approximate or surpass many human qualities, another question arises. Should we also be concerned about the potential consciousness, agency, and experiences of the models themselves? Should we be concerned about model welfare, too?
This is an open question, and one that’s both philosophically and scientifically difficult. In this conversation, Kyle Fish (Alignment Science, Anthropic) explores some of the philosophical and ethical questions surrounding AI consciousness.

• Machine Learning Street Talk: "We need AIs with PHYSICAL experience (Jeff Beck)"

Dr. Jeff Beck discusses how our brains might process information and learn, contrasting it with how current AI, especially language models, operate. He suggests that while AI can seem intelligent by recognizing patterns (like identifying a famous test without actually solving it), it may lack genuine understanding because it doesn't have real-world, physical experiences like humans do.
