   I mean already quantum physics is telling you that a particle that is not looked at is not even in space and time is is you can only be described in a deeper reality and only when you measure it. In other words, when a field interacts with another field which is the field of an instrument, you have an event that manifests in space and time and then you can say, you know, there is a particle here, for example. But quantum physics cannot tell you where you will find the particle. It can only tell you the probability of all the possibilities in which you could potentially find the particle. So th…

   And I want to ask you, at what level could a computer even in principle experience both happiness the happiest thought of its existence, A, and B, the bodily sensation of free fall. In other words, the emperor and the emperor's new mind, how could it even come close to this revelation which then led to GR and and the equivalence principle and everything else? In other words, are you sanguine about artificial intelligences becoming conscious? Or how could they if if so? Well, they wouldn't. I mean, my view is that if you're just looking at computation, that doesn't involve consciousness. And th…

   You have to be careful about what you mean by a quantum computer because I don't think quantum computer in the sense that people use that term does actively involve using the collapse of the wave function as part of the mechanism in quotes because it's not really a mechanism. That's right. Yeah. Okay. Got it. So the the kind of quantum computers that for example Google is working on now because presumably it doesn't involve the collapse of the wave function. You think it wouldn't be conscious as such? Is that right? Okay, great. I asked Stuart the same question about whether contemporary AI co…

   You see, you could you could make it random, but that's not the point of free will. You could say that. You see, people often say that free will could be there if it's not deterministic. But it doesn't do you any good if it's just random. Yeah. So, the view I have is is more or less this. It's not even my It's a fairly recent view, I think. But the view is more this. There is something retrocausal about it. What free will really means and what I'm arguing for here is not that you can do anything you like and you can act randomly if you like. You're doing what you think is the right thing to do…

   And now I have a full blown theory of consciousness in free will that. Explain the conscious and free will cannot be. Produced either by a quantum classical system like our body and, and even less by a classical, a classical computer like the ones that the host artificial intelligence. And so is fundamental that we understand that we are much more than computers in a day when we are told that we are machines, just like computers. In fact, not so good because computers will, you know, will overcome our intelligence pretty soon if they haven't done it already. So, I, you know, now I'm really on …

   As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to advance, it is natural to ask whether AI systems can be not only intelligent, but also conscious. I consider why people might think AI could develop consciousness, identifying some biases that lead us astray. I ask what it would take for conscious AI to be a realistic prospect, challenging the assumption that computation provides a sufficient basis for consciousness. I'll instead make the case that consciousness depends on our nature as living organisms - a form of biological naturalism. I lay out a range of scenarios for conscious AI, concluding th…
