Can AI become conscious or will machines always just simulate awareness? Blaise Agüera y Arcas, VP at Google Research and a leading voice in artificial intelligence, joins Robert Lawrence Kuhn to explore one of the most profound questions in science and philosophy: Can artificial intelligence ever develop real consciousness?
They discuss the nature of mind, the limits of machine learning, and whether AI systems could one day have subjective experience, emotions, or self-awareness. What would it mean if a neural network felt something?
