Part 1/17:
Exploring the Frontiers of Consciousness and Machine Intelligence
Yosha Bach, an AI strategist at Liquid AI and director of the California Institute for Machine Consciousness, delivered a profound lecture on the mechanisms and architecture underlying consciousness. His work spans cognitive architectures, models of emotion perception, and the nature of the self. With a distinguished academic background at Humboldt University, MIT Media Lab, Harvard's evolutionary dynamics program, and Intel Labs, Bach's insights bridge neuroscience, philosophy, and AI. His exploration touches on foundational questions: What is consciousness? How does it arise? and Can we replicate or understand it through machines?
