Interfaith Encounters

AI: Consciousness, Self-Consciousness, and Algorithms

Episode Summary

In this episode we explore human consciousness, and self consciousness, and ask if that makes us distinctly human. And we ask whether in the future we'll understand AIs to be self conscious.

Episode Notes
