What is the role of consciousness in the mind? Will AI that surpasses human performance need to be conscious? Are existing frontier models already conscious?
Joscha Bach, Executive Director at California Institute for Machine Consciousness (CIMC) and AI Strategist at Liquid AI, delivered a keynote at the 18th Annual AGI Conference (AGI-25), exploring these questions from the perspective of AGI research.
Dr. Bach notably discussed possible approaches to implementing consciousness on GPUS, including Neural Cellular Automata (NCA), where "the pattern of computation is somewhat mobile over the substrate."
