The people who think AI might become conscious

Researchers at Sussex University are using a device called the "Dreamachine" to study how the human brain generates conscious experiences. As artificial intelligence (AI) advances, there is growing debate about whether AI systems could become conscious. Some in the tech sector believe AI may already be conscious, while others argue that true consciousness may only be achievable by living systems, not machines. The emergence of AI consciousness could have profound implications on society and human relationships.
