Insights from the Conscious Turing Machine - A Machine Model for Consciousness

Overview

Join us for a fascinating exploration of consciousness with the Conscious Turing Machine model, addressing intriguing questions about the nature of awareness. This session will examine the influence of pain on sleep patterns, the differences between lived experiences and simulated events, and the impact of illusions and dreams.

Additionally, the talk will delve into the concept of free will in the context of artificial intelligence. Elevate your understanding of these complex phenomena through expert insights presented in this educational opportunity available on YouTube.
