Can machines think for themselves? Is consciousness in AI closer than we think? Dr.J. Craig Wheeler says it won’t come from evolution—it’ll come from a chip. He joined our CEO Dan Turchin on the AI and the Future of Work podcast to explore whether AI could ever be truly conscious, how we’ll know when it happens, and what we need to do to regulate it.

Do machines have consciousness? It’s a question we once left to sci-fi movies and novels. But today, more than ever, it’s something we need to seriously consider. Dr. J. Craig Wheeler believes we’re closer to an answer than we realize. But if machines do become conscious, it won’t be the way we imagine. Machine consciousness won’t emerge from billions of years of evolution—it will come from a chip. Dr. Wheeler is a renowned professor of astronomy and an avid researcher. He has published nearly 400 scientific papers, two novels, and his latest nonfiction book, "The Path to Singularity: How Technology Will Challenge the Future of Humanity". Our host, Dan Turchin [PeopleReign CEO], sat down with Dr. Wheeler to explore the future of AI, whether machines will think for themselves, and what we must do to regulate AI learning. Check out this week's [🎧 #podcast episode 330] to hear what excites him about the future—and what concerns him. https://lnkd.in/e4P8if3u #FutureOfWork #MachineLearning #Consciousness #AI
