Happy new year!
Cryptographic Reality part 2 is out: when inspecting the internal-subjective/external-objective dichotomy from the renewed computational theory of mind perspective, a further picture surfaces. That of Alice and Bob, co-shaping private vs shared systems of references…

Cryptographic Reality - pt 2: Private vs Shared

Moving beyond the classical split between internal representations and external facts, this post introduces private and shared realities as interacting systems of reference.

Is the mind shaped by the body, or is it the other way around? The Embodied Mind (1991) opens a fascinating middle way. More relevant than ever in our age of artificial minds. Read more in my latest blog post: https://conscienc.ai/blog/2025-06-02-varela/

Session 24 - Ryota Kanai (Araya Inc.) - Qualia and Symmetry: A Mathematical Framework For Understanding the Qualitative Nature of Consciousness

Are qualitative differences in conscious experience, like vision versus audition, shaped by the intrinsic structure of neural networks? This talk proposes a mathematical framework using symmetry groups and equivariance to characterize these differences. This approach offers a new path for linking consciousness to neural architecture.

Qui doit décider des valeurs des IA ?
« Il ne faut pas que ces enjeux se règlent entre les mains de quelques puissants prétendument bienveillants. [...] On sait que les humains peuvent avoir tendance à négliger ce qui contredit leurs propres théories ou ce qui risque d’affaiblir leur puissance. Les valeurs devraient se définir au plus haut niveau possible, par exemple à l’ONU, afin de refléter une grande diversité de contextes et de cultures. »

Session 22 - Giada Pistilli - Beyond Consent, The Limits of Data Agency in Generative AI Systems

Can traditional notions of consent meaningfully apply to AI-generated content? What happens when our data creates representations of ourselves beyond our control?

European Commission Mar 24, 2025

The future of 450 million Europeans is in their hands.

Europe needs to be strong to protect it.

We're taking action: increasing defence spending, supporting Ukraine, and strengthening our industry. This is our ReArm Europe Plan / Readiness 2030, worth over €800 billion.

Our new action plan for competitive and environmentally friendly steel and metals and the Savings and Investment Union strategy will be key to delivering it.

Europe responds with actions.
