AI Consciousness Cannot Exist
The Solo Talk: Cutting through the AI consciousness complacency
The Solo Talk: AI Consciousness Cannot Exist - with Markus Gabriel - 7.20pm GMT, 2.20pm ET
We are uncovering a new science of consciousness, one that could eventually crack the mystery of whether AI could ever be conscious.
Or so some scientists claim. But many still strongly take issue with this.
Join internationally acclaimed philosopher Markus Gabriel as he cuts through scientific complacency and 'naïve realism' to provide a new perspective on the matter.

Markus Gabriel
Radical metaphysician
A leading German philosopher, Markus Gabriel pioneers a new kind of philosophy, which rejects materialism and replaces it with an original conception of reality. This is a reality to which we have direct access, but which does not constitute a single, all-encompassing "world." There is, he argues, no such thing as "everything," or the "totality of things," because things only exist within specific fields of sense.
Gabriel is Chair in Epistemology and Modern and Contemporary Philosophy at the University of Bonn, and author of books including Why The World Does Not Exist, Fields of Sense, and Sense, Nonsense, and Subjectivity, translated into more than 15 languages.
