Can computers truly think? The materialist assumption that thinking is produced by the brain has profound implications for AI. Professor Valdemar Setzer presents four compelling arguments challenging this assumption.
The Four Arguments
- The Binding Problem in neuroscience
- Conscious experience during clinical brain death
- The irreducibility of qualitative experience
- The self-referential nature of thought
Implications for AI
If thinking is not generated by the brain, then AI — no matter how sophisticated — will never achieve genuine consciousness. This presentation explores what this means for the future of technology and human evolution.
