We must reject any notion of AI consciousness | Letters

Anil Seth is right to point out that to overestimate artificial intelligence is to underestimate ourselves (Once again we are told AI may be conscious – I study consciousness, and I have my doubts, 15 July). But he is wrong only to have doubts about whether AI systems like Claude may become conscious. He should be certain, and should say so more forcefully. It’s not like anything to be Claude, just as it’s not like anything to be a washing machine. An academic education is not required to realise that, common se…

AI Challenges and the Future of Education: A Needed Epistemic, Political, and Ecological Agenda for Critical Leadership Scholars and Practitioners

Artificial intelligence is already transforming contemporary education. Besides revolutionizing how students learn and educators teach it is also challenging the frameworks of knowledge and power that underpin leadership. Unfortunately, and because of an imposed discourse of urgency spread from big AI corporations and economic and political interests, AI has been rapidly integrated into educational settings without a profound and critical evaluation of its assumptions and consequences. This is the main reason wh…

Safety fears as scientists make first viruses designed by AI

Scientists have made the first viruses designed by artificial intelligence in a milestone that raises hopes for new medicines but also concerns over how to ensure the technology remains safe. The viruses are specific kinds known as bacteriophages, which only infect bacteria and are used around the world to treat patients with persistent infections. In lab tests, a cocktail of the AI-designed viruses killed E coli bugs that were resistant to natural bacteriophages. Dr Brian Hie, a chemical engineer at Stanford Un…
