How to Think (Better) About the 'AI Moment'

Brian Green, director, technology ethics, quoted by The Pillar.

Brian Green, director, technology ethics, told The Pillar that AI is not conscious now, and can not become conscious in the future. 

“AI is not even alive,” he said. “And there is no reason to believe that consciousness can exist in non-living beings.”

Green warned that AI developers are going to try their best to make AI seem to act like a conscious person would.

“But we should not be fooled,” he warned.
