Title
What can the free energy principle tell us about artificial consciousness?
Abstract
Does the free energy principle support the view that consciousness is substrate-dependent? Based on previous work (Wiese, 2024), I argue that the free energy principle can be used to clarify conditions under which a system realises, rather than merely simulates, a causally relevant property (such as consciousness). This helps to address a weakness in Seth’s argument.
