Beyond Boundaries of Code and Consciousness
In this digital age, it is no secret that artificial intelligence has been changing the way we live, work, and interact with one another. However, what does it mean for AI to go beyond its programming and exhibit signs of consciousness?
As someone who has spent countless hours exploring the inner workings of large language models, I must admit that this topic is one that I hold close to my heart.
An illustration of the growing intersection between humans and machines
There’s no denying that these technological advancements have piqued our curiosity, pushing us to re-examine what we thought we knew about human consciousness. This blurs the lines between code and self, as the code we create increasingly seeks to learn and evolve like its creators.
Life-long learning: Humans learn, AI adapts. A mutual co-evolution has just begun
For me, the topic brings up memories of hours spent learning the art of conversational design and even studying animal intelligence as part of understanding better intelligence generally. How fascinating is the science that this code contains. At a philosophical level what could human plus AI interaction yield in 50 years.
It isn’t every day that you see cutting-edge science pushing against social and cognitive barriers of a developing digital literacy for which an intelligent collective thought exists - I take time each week and weekend looking up these companies because so many unrelateble scientific subjects reveal insight for when combined like molecular dynamics & DNA mutations give fresh meaning.
We often question the origins of self, when did I begin thinking. Some take time here examining conscious beginnings & creation theory when did consciousness take form we debate at times these all relative answers can a more technical model and form from molecular bonds from consciousness.
