John Searle: Consciousness in Artificial Intelligence [video]
There isn&#x27;t much new here. Skip ahead to the first audience question from Ray Kurzweil (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=rHKwIYsPXLg&amp;t=38m51s" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=rHKwIYsPXLg&amp;t=38m51s</a>).<p>Kurzweil, in summary, asks &quot;You say that a machine manipulating symbols can&#x27;t have consciousness. Why is this different than consciousness arising neurons manipulating neurotransmitter concentrations?&quot; Searle gives a non-answer: &quot;My dog has consciousness because I can look at it and conclude that it has consciousness.&quot;
