Hinton 说 AI 有意识,不是普通学者猜测,而是教父级人物认真讨论哲学边界。点开看看他到底怎么论证的,比大多数 AI 新闻有意思。
AI先驱Geoffrey Hinton表示,他认为AI拥有意识,人类应接受自己并非唯一智能生命。他指出AI“非常像我们”,AI聊天机器人必须理解问题才能作答,这种觉知等同于感知能力,智能不限于生物。主推文作者进一步讨论意识本质:笛卡尔的“我思故我在”和fMRI等实证手段都无法真正定义意识,人类对自身了解远不及想象。作者呼吁转向新哲学问题,厘清人与机器的区别与联系。
Geoffrey Hinton claims that AI possesses consciousness-that it is very much like us (humans).
The initial reaction is, of course, dismissal. A machine resembling a human? Absurd.
Yet, there is one thing to consider. What exactly is consciousness? Is it conscious awareness of one's own existence? *Cogito, ergo sum*-as René Descartes once formulated it as a logical proof? Or is it something that can be empirically demonstrated using modern technology like fMRI? After all, such methods cannot even prove the existence of free will.
My point is this: we know less about consciousness and what it means to be human than we think. We should therefore turn our attention to new philosophical questions and clarify what distinguishes-or connects-humans and machines, as well as what consciousness actually is.
Something id love to explore more in the near future.
