On AI
THE MACHINES ARE RISING.
In our culture, philosophers and scientists have long debated the nature of consciousness, the essence of human thought, and whether machines could ever truly think, feel, or even dream. Now, in an era where Artificial Intelligence is no longer an abstract concept but a force reshaping our world, the question has never been more urgent.
This short essay examines some of the fundamental questions surrounding Artificial Intelligence and consciousness. Can a machine ever truly think, feel, or know itself—or is intelligence without experience merely an illusion?
Tracing a path from imitation to cognition, this work explores the intersection of AI, philosophy, and cognitive science, engaging with the ideas of Alan Turing, John von Neumann, Hubert Dreyfus, and Nick Bostrom, among others. It delves into the conceptual challenges of defining consciousness, the limitations of computation, and the ethical concerns raised by increasingly autonomous systems.
A critical reflection on the nature of intelligence, the boundaries of AI, and the implications of machines that learn, adapt, and evolve.
