From Robert Rawlinson, Bristol, UK
Moheb Costandi writes that artificial intelligence can analyse the neuronal activity of movie watchers and identify which scenes they were observing. While this shows we can map commonality in brain activity for AIs to tap into, we lack the ability to capture the phenomenological quality of the “experience”. For AIs to cross the divide into consciousness, we would need to be able to observe this objectively (29 June, p 9).
