#Zoomposium with Dr. #Patrick #Krauß: “Instructions for building #artificialconsciousness”

Translating the various stages of #Damasio #theoryofconsciousness 1:1 into concrete #circuitdiagrams for #deeplearning. To this end, strategies such as #feedforwardconnections and #recurrentconnections in the form of #reinforcementlearning and #unsupervisedlearning are used to simulate the #biologicalprocesses of #neuralnetworks.

I still don't know how to classify #panpsychism , but the basic ideas behind it are definitely interesting.

* 5-yr adversarial collaboration of consciousness theorists
* pitted 2 high-profile theories against each other:
global neuronal workspace theory
integrated information theory
* neither outright winner

What a Contest of Consciousness Theories Really Proved | Quanta Magazine

A five-year “adversarial collaboration” of consciousness theorists led to a stagy showdown in front of an audience. It crowned no winners — but it can still claim progress.

* Comment: briefly mentions the absolutely brilliant Karl Friston (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_J._Friston):

Karl Friston argued that the conscious processing can be interpreted as a statistical inference problem of inferring causes of sensory observations. Therefore, minimizing the surprise (negative log probability of an event) may lead to self-consciousness, in consistent with the hypothesis that the brain is a prediction machine.
