Andrew Nam, Eric Elmoznino, Nikolay Malkin +3
Symbolic systems are powerful frameworks for modeling cognitive processes as they encapsulate the rules and relationships fundamental to many aspects of human reasoning and behavio…
Consciousness in Artificial Intelligence: Insights from the Science of Consciousness
Patrick Butlin, Robert Long, Eric Elmoznino +16
Whether current or near-term AI systems could be conscious is a topic of scientific interest and increasing public concern. This report argues for, and exemplifies, a rigorous and…
