Will technology ever be sophisticated enough to be conscious? Is it correct to assume that all creatures experience consciousness of some kind?

Anil Seth and Lila Landowski dive into the tough topic of consciousness of technology and animals, debating whether either has the capacity to have a sense of self.
This clip is a recording from our Outside The Box series - an event where Anil dove into topics like:
- Will technology ever develop consciousness of its own?
- Are humans the only creatures on Earth to experience consciousness of self?
- If consciousness is a product of our brain’s interpretation of the world, what happens if we start hacking it?
The event was hosted by Junior Research Fellow Lila Landowski.
