The people who think AI might become conscious 11 hours ago Share Save Pallab Ghosh • @BBCPallab Science correspondent Share Save BBC Listen to this article. I step into the booth with some trepidation. I am about to be subjected to strobe lighting while music plays – as part of a research project trying to understand what makes us truly human. It's an experience that brings to mind the test in the science fiction film Bladerunner, designed to distinguish humans from artificially created bein

Theoretical Models I. Theoretical Models Nearly three decades of intense experimentation leave little doubt that the anomalous physical phenomena appearing in the PEAR studies are valid, and are significantly correlated with such subjective variables as intention, meaning, resonance, and uncertainty. The stark inconsistencies of these results with established physical and psychological presumptions place extraordinary demands on the development of competent new theoretical models for construct

Generation Z, or the cohort of people born between 1997 and 2012, has a very weird relationship with artificial intelligence. In the latest sign of just how strange things are getting, a new study by the paper-writing service EduBirdie found, upon asking 2,000 Gen Z-ers a battery of questions about AI, that a quarter believe the technology is "already conscious." What's more, 52 percent — or more than half of the respondents — think AI is not yet conscious but will become so in the years to co

A team of scientists has identified areas of the brain that are activated when a person becomes aware of themself and their thoughts. This enigmatic process appears to be controlled by the thalamus, a central region of the brain already known for its function as a filter between sensory signals and the cerebral cortex, the portion of the brain that governs higher-level processes such as memory, thought, and personality. Conscious perception is the ability of human beings to become aware of the

It is currently impossible to predict when a comatose patient might become conscious again. Some patients wake up minutes or days after a brain injury, while a rare few regain partial consciousness after decades. Others, however, remain unconscious for the rest of their lives. New research suggests that sleep patterns in comatose patients could help predict their chances of waking up. Researchers at Columbia University and New York-Presbyterian Hospital cross-referenced sleep patterns in comato
