@johanneskleiner.bsky.socialHow can we test for consciousness in infants, non-human animals, and AI? I'm super happy that the recordings of our last workshop on exactly this question are now online!

@anilseth.bsky.socialReposted by @johanneskleiner.bsky.social1/ Conscious AI and Biological Naturalism. A long time in the making, but the full collection is *out now* in Behavioural and Brain Sciences I deeply thank all my many commentators for their wise, broad, and deep opinions on this critical topic.I also thank them for their saintly patience. ๐๐ฝ
@krysdolega.bsky.socialReposted by @johanneskleiner.bsky.socialI have a lot of pretty nasty thoughts about the "first AI philosophy" essay competition, but I'll restrain myself to saying that it'd be nice if philosophers stopped bending over backwards to get the attention of big tech companies...
@johanneskleiner.bsky.socialSneak peek of what I think will be an amazing workshop on tests for consciousness ๐, made possible by @niccolonegro.bsky.social and @aidaelamrani.bsky.social!
You're cordially invited to join us!
