COULD OUR AI SYSTEMS ALREADY BE CONSCIOUS?
For centuries, we’ve dreamt about what it would mean to wake up the machine. Now, leading researchers believe it may be happening.
AM I? follows AI consciousness researcher Cameron Berg as he investigates one of the deepest scientific mysteries of our time: whether we have accidentally built a new kind of mind.
With leading philosophers, AI pioneers, and the researchers at the frontier of consciousness science, AM I? asks what it means when we no longer know the nature of what we’ve created.
