Description
Can AI gain consciousness? Stuart Hameroff explains why he thinks consciousness requires organic material, and why AI as it is right now will not be conscious. Stuart is a co-author of the theory of consciousness Orchestrated objective reduction, proposing an idea that consciousness originates at the quantum level inside neurons, rather than being a product of neural connections.
