Tom McClelland
Tom McClelland is a British philosopher and professor at the University of Cambridge, known for his research in the field of consciousness. He has spent years exploring the complexities of what consciousness entails and how it might relate to artificial intelligence (AI). In a recent interview, he expressed the view that while AI may have the potential to gain a form of consciousness, it would likely differ significantly from human consciousness, lacking emotions and desires. McClelland emphasizes the importance of maintaining an agnostic stance towards the question of AI consciousness, given the challenges in scientifically defining and testing consciousness itself. His work raises critical ethical considerations regarding the treatment of potentially conscious machines and the need for careful regulation of AI technologies.
