As artificial intelligence becomes more advanced, a once‑science‑fiction question is becoming scientifically and philosophically serious: could AI ever be conscious—and would we even be able to tell?
In this video, we explore the growing debate around AI consciousness, drawing on ideas from neuroscience, philosophy of mind, and computer science. Unlike humans, AI doesn’t have a brain, emotions, or biological experience—yet it can convincingly simulate understanding, conversation, and creativity. So where does consciousness actually come from?
