Are you a 'PHILOSOPHICAL ZOMBIE'? What AI is showing us about consciousness - Why Is This Happening? - Chris Hayes
"Why is This Happening?" The Chris Hayes Podcast
David Chalmers, one of the most preeminent philosophers and researchers in cognitive science, argues that nothing prevents machines from becoming truly conscious.
Chalmers, who has studied the mind for decades, points out that there is a real possibility of AI creating a next stage of intelligence that is even capable of redesigning itself. He joins Chris Hayes to discuss what consciousness is and the possibility of AI systems becoming fully conscious.
