What would it take for you to consider an artificial intelligence conscious and capable of receiving human rights?
AI is computer and is not human, so I would deny human rights for computers.Do you believe that computers can ever be conscious?
No. But most certainly computers can simulate consciousness. In future perhaps “better” than humans.
Do you think we will be able to create artificial consciousness without understanding the physical basis of our own consciousness?
Yes we are. However, the exact duplication of human consciousness is not possible. We can build computer consciousness.
Consiousness is connecting to the information, realying it, examining it, processing it…etc. I still receive and send morse code. I don’t think individual dots and dashes as the rhythm of the symbol is in my head. When learning back in the early 1980’s, at very early stages I had to concentrate in every dot, dash and space length. Suddenly I managed to copy complete symbols or even whole words into the “internal buffer” in my head and from there to paper. This of course requires some consciousness despite some operators could copy messages just before falling sleep. In their message form they usually miss spaces between words. When some skill is learnt better and better the level of consciousness is lower than at the initial phases of learning. In my opinion solving equation problems is in fact this connection. Consiousness #1 can set a problem, #2 can solve first part, #3 can solve the rest of the problem and #4 reads the phases from paper. Inormation is passed between the consiousnesses. So, I think information has crucial role in consiousness.
I think so. Several courses in this WSU-platform (Special relativity non-math, String theory and Nature’s Consituent) show clearly that in same reality is heavily dependent on the state of the observer. Perhaps this course has to be added to the list. One can argue that other observer’s reality is an illusion.
I’d prefer theoretical, or philosophical more likely. Theoretical physicists study several years of math in order to understand higher physics. The modern experiments need huge investments, expensive accelerators etc. Basically home-lab experiments are for general interest. On the other hand one can learn and deepen the existing knowledge with simple experiments and calculations.
I don’t think a single equation is enough. Even after the Universe reaches “universal” 0 K temperature it would be impossible task. This description in a single equation model, or even single elegant equation model could have been possible in white hole singularity. Whether it is possible in black hole, I don’t believe that either as the region inside the event horizon is essential part of the Universe.
