#4 – AI and Consciousness
Jay and Joe share their thoughts on the subject of Artificial Intelligence. Is it the end of civilisation? Is it the end of humanity? Or can we use it wisely? In this introduction to the vast and expanding topic of AI, we debate whether AI is or can be conscious, ‘the alignment problem’, and lay the ground for future expansion.
