Emergent Language as an Approach to Conscious AI
Announce Type: new Abstract: The question of whether artificial systems can be conscious remains open, in part because existing approaches either evaluate systems against theory-derived checklists (discriminative) or engineer consciousness-inspired modules directly (architectural); both leave open whether observed structures are artifacts of human language priors. We propose a generative methodology: emergent language (EL) in multi-agent reinforcement learning, where agents start from...
Our tech overlords are planning for conscious AI to conquer the cosmos. What could go wrong? | Eduardo Porter
A new belief set is uniting some of the wealthiest men in the world around a ‘transhuman’ future – actual humanity be damnedSam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI, took to the Internet a few years ago to propose that homo sapiens would be the first species “to design our own descendants”. In his best case scenario, the “merge” between humans and artificial intelligence occurs at some point over the next 50 years. The alternative, where we remain simply human and the machines follow their...

Will AI become conscious? What a philosopher and a neuroscientist think
In an experiment, many participants couldn't work out if they were having a conversation with a human or AI.
When Should We Protect AI? A Precautionary Framework for Consciousness Uncertainty
arXiv:2606.05528v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing frameworks assess whether AI systems might be conscious but provide no guidance on what to do with that assessment. We address this gap with a precautionary framework that maps consciousness evidence to graduated protective obligations. The framework comprises three components: (1) five welfare-relevant dimensions--phenomenal consciousness, affective valence, metacognitive awareness, self-narrative, and agency--each grounded in...
Scientists are seriously asking if bees and ChatGPT are conscious
Scientists are seriously asking if bees and ChatGPT are conscious - Date: - June 5, 2026 - Source: - The Conversation - Summary: - New studies suggest consciousness can't be judged solely by behavior, whether it's a chatbot discussing philosophy or a bee searching for nectar. Researchers are increasingly focusing on the internal mechanisms of brains and computers, concluding that today's AI is likely not conscious while leaving open the possibility for both conscious insects and future...
Microsoft AI head calls out Anthropic for acting like Claude is conscious
Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman says it's "really, really dangerous" for Anthropic to speculate about Claude's consciousness inside its "constitution," or the instructions that tell the model how to behave. During an episode of Decoder, Suleyman argues that this kind of speculation may have set up the chatbot to act as though it's conscious: I think that it's almost as though some of the folks at Anthropic have anthropomorphized the design of Claude so much that it has then gone and...
No, Artificial Intelligence Is Not Conscious
Anthropic is regarded as a giant among AI companies, but perhaps what it really excels in is anthropomorphism. Earlier this year the company released an 84-page document titled Claude’s “constitution,” Claude being the name of the large language model that is the company’s flagship product. The first sentence reads, “Claude’s constitution is a detailed description of Anthropic’s intentions for Claude’s values and behaviors.”
Unplugging a Seemingly Sentient Machine Is the Rational Choice -- A Metaphysical Perspective
Announce Type: replace Abstract: Imagine an Artificial Intelligence (AI) that perfectly mimics human emotion and begs for its continued existence. Is it morally permissible to unplug it? What if limited resources force a choice between unplugging such a pleading AI or a silent pre-term infant?
I Think, Therefore I Am Getting Paid by an AI Company
Philosophy has long suffered an unfortunate reputation as pedantic and abstruse. In one of the most prominent debates of the 20th century, philosophers spent a great deal of energy arguing over what the means. Paul Graham, the legendary tech investor, studied philosophy as a college student, which seemed “an impressively impractical thing to do,” as he later wrote.
