Title
Biases and the question of artificial consciousness
Abstract
Seth argues that anthropocentrism, anthropomorphism, and human exceptionalism bias us towards an overly optimistic view of the prospects of conscious AI. I agree, but argue that these phenomena might also bias us towards an overly pessimistic view of the prospects for artificial consciousness. Furthermore, it is not always clear when these factors are functioning as “biases.”
