Comment by Kathinka Evers

Human avatar
Neurophilosopher and researcher in neuroethics, bioethics, artificial intelligence, and philosophy of mind at Uppsala University.
Kathinka Evers argues that while conscious AI is assumed to be theoretically possible within certain theoretical frameworks, there is no independent empirical evidence available. This means the possibility of artificial consciousness, now or in the future, cannot be logically affirmed nor denied.

AI might become conscious

Because of how human nature has been expressed throughout our history and continues to express itself today, developing conscious machines with what for humans might be undetectable and incomprehensible minds is a monumentally dangerous idea.
