Can a machine be conscious? Brian Greene explains how AI raises one of the oldest puzzles in science and philosophy.
Your brain holds something like 100 trillion trillion atoms organized into billions of neurons, and every one of those particles obeys the same laws of physics as particles anywhere else. Yet nothing in those equations speaks to an inner world of awareness. Tracing the puzzle from past philosophical musings through present explorations, Brian explains why he suspects today’s AI systems are not conscious, why he cannot prove it, and why that uncertainty calls for humility.
This program is part of the Rethinking Reality series, supported by the John Templeton Foundation.
