Доклад PhD Монреальского университета Луи Поля Вервурта "Are AI-based consciousness and ethical robots possible?"

Can future robots and artificial-intelligence (AI) systems have consciousness and genuinely human intelligence -- or even superhuman intelligence? Is it possible for them to behave ethically? In this talk I will look at these questions from the point of view of philosophy of mind and AI, and argue that these questions are related: I believe their answer hinges on the same condition. Starting from an analysis of the concepts of consciousness and free will, both studied extensively in philosophy of mind, I will argue that the key capacity that computers and robots should possess in order to emulate human cognition and (ethical) consciousness is the capacity to learn and apply “coherent webs-of-theories". I conjecture that where classic AI has been, in essence, “data-driven", the greatest leap forward would be “theory-driven" AI. I will review work in deep learning and cognitive neuroscience to back up this claim.
