Title
Steam-engine naturalism
Abstract
Seth’s biological naturalism builds on ideas from predictive processing, the free energy principle, and active inference to (1) argue that only (some) biological systems are in the consciousness business and to (2) refute the possibility of artificial consciousness, i.e., consciousness in AI and other artificial systems. We find this perspective problematic for a few different reasons.
