Скачать или смотреть Is This Reality? Virtual Worlds, Artificial Intelligence, and the Mystery of Consciousness

23 May 2023, Stockholm

Throughout the year, AI development has taken significant strides. We are living in a society that is becoming increasingly reliant on digital technology, which soon could be flooded with computer-generated content.

As technology advances, it will become harder to distinguish between the virtual and the real, eventually almost impossible. Is this a cause for concern?

Many have called for a temporary halt to AI development to allow time to address its potential risks. Are we on the brink of a future where machines "awaken" and become conscious? Is the human race at risk?
