He identifies several challenges that need to be addressed, such as the need for sensory grounding and recurrent processing in AI systems. Chalmers concludes that while human-level artificial intelligence may not be achieved soon, we might develop systems that could be serious candidates for consciousness within the next decade. - URL: https://readwise.io/reader/document_raw_content/243442180 - Source File: Could a Large Language Model be Conscious?
