About this listen

 Can artificial intelligence ever possess subjective experience? This episode examines the clash between functionalism, which sees consciousness as information processing, and biological naturalism, which ties awareness to the brain’s physical substrate.

Exploring the “hard problem” of consciousness, silicon-based minds, and the ethical stakes of machine awareness, the discussion probes whether building artificial consciousness is possible—or whether it first requires redefining what consciousness truly is.
