Artificial Intelligence and human consciousness​

The question of human consciousness has become increasingly relevant with the rise of artificial intelligence. Modern technological advances have raised the idea of creating machines capable of thinking for themselves. This has generated hopes — and fears — that the next generation of robots will be able to display signs of consciousness. But is all this just the stuff of science fiction?

In this session at the Revolution Festival, Daniel Morley, Executive Committee member of the RCP, will answer these questions using the method of dialectical materialism — the philosophy of Marxism.
