Researcher Explains Why AI Will Never Be Conscious. #ai

in 2023 experts in Consciousness and AI have published this paper which proposes that AI might be conscious or at least pretending to have Consciousness however the verdict among neuroscientists is clear I will never be conscious and here is why now the way Consciousness evolved and develops in living beings obviously different than how artificial intelligence is built living organisms survival and Consciousness come from from complex biological processes and survival needs which AI systems obviously do not possess Consciousness is deep and complex think about it it took millions of years of evolution to Simply say I am neuroscientists believe that Consciousness simply emerged out of nowhere almost like popped up in some point of a Evolution which doesn't make sense to me eyes of AI is improving our understanding of Consciousness AI does it not through the competitional power that it Prov Ides us but by giving us clear powerful Insight that is humans and mamals might entirely buil to have Consciousness to be conscious the external world must be integrated with the internal needs such as hunger and food perception threat addiction and safety needs pain and avoidance social bonding emotional needs learning curiosity Etc these needs are all managed through Consciousness without giving AI the capability of handling managing these needs it will never be conscious [Music] now imagine your reality shrunk just to text messages right that's chat gpt's World these large language models work very differently than our brains they're missing a key structure the thalamus which is crucial for sending sensory and motor signals and for regulating Consciousness although this machines are getting smarter and more advanced each day we're led to believe that Consciousness requires more than autonomy and and self-awareness today's AI even the most sophisticated ones function without awareness desires or subjective experiences missing The evolutionary biological and emotional framework core to the definition of Consciousness for something to be conscious it requires a complex network of interactions according to integration information Theory without this complexity AI can't achieve Consciousness however being conscious isn't just about having the right brain structures our brain structure doesn't change when we go under anesthesia right or when we sleep yet we are not conscious during these times this tells us Consciousness relies on specific brain activities that differ between being awake or not so AI systems can analyze data learn from it and make decisions based on that learning dis ability stems from complex algorithms and computational power however it's important to understand that ai's decision making is grounded in its programming and data it's trained on large language models operate within defined limits AI systems work with the constraints set by developers their decisions are responses Based on data and algorithms not conscious choices this is why AI is much safer than it's actually dangerous experts in the field such as some Altman and Elon Musk essentially believe that a specific model of large language model that is designed from ground Solly to have Consciousness then it might be possible in fact the paper we mentioned in our opening exactly supports this claim while it might be possible it is very difficult and not the main goal right the focus is more on making AI useful for us in practical ways when not trying to make it conscious so far with concrete grounded empirical evidence AI will never be conscious and the reason is simple because they are not designed to be conscious but designed to be tool therefore unless someone with immense power like Elon Musk develops a specific AI that is whole purpose is to be conscious then it might mimic Consciousness even then it's not possible
