Lecturer in Materials Science and Engineering at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca; author of research on synthetic consciousness measurement.
Projections based on Moore’s law, neural simulation efforts, and the exponential growth in processing power suggest that AI could begin to develop complex consciousness in the next 10 to 15 years, particularly through advances in neural architecture, affective computing, and brain-inspired hardware like neuromorphic chips.
