Theories and Definitions on Consciousness
Why read this ? Why Write this ?
Consciousness has always fascinated me, and I hope it is of some interest to you too. Having a good grasp of consciousness is also required if we are to grant AIs (yes, computer programs) with it or, at the very least, borrow from what we know to make them more useful and perhaps more human. But alas, we haven’t quite figured it out. If we had, I would be telling you how to make a sentient toaster, for instance, so the best next thing for now is to review some of the most popular theories on consciousness.
Definitions vs Theories: It's important to clarify that since what we
currently have are theories, we can't have a complete definition,
and each theory generates a different definition.🖐️ Pardon the interruption but I am testing out a Substack publication solely focused on practical and theoretical AIs :
You can find it here : The AI Garden , Thanks ! 🖐️
