Consciousness wasn't a topic I set out to study. It crossed my desk as the discussions around artificial intelligence continued to evovle. As researchers worked to create increasingly intelligent machines, they ran into an unexpected problem: before determining whether something could become conscious, they first had to agree on what consciousness actually is. In this episode of High Questions, Sober Answers, I explore how the pursuit of artificial intelligence reopened one of humanity's oldest questions and how it relates to morality and the future of humanity as we know it.
