in this special episode of "AI Replaced Me" we plunge headfirst into one of the most compelling and maybe consequential questions of our time: Can artificial intelligence truly be conscious?

Today, Koby Ofek is discussing with Scott Levi-Ross, a researcher of Mind theories of AI and the host of the up and coming "AI Philosophy: Beyond the Mirror" Podcast.

This conversation will explore philosophical, ethical, and practical implications of AI consciousness. The discussion highlights the distinction between the 'easy' and 'hard' problems of consciousness, examines various philosophical perspectives, and addresses the ethical responsibilities of AI developers. It emphasizes the societal impact of beliefs about AI consciousness and the urgent need for safety and honest design in AI systems.
