Happiness Is Primary

Artificial Intelligence and Consciousness

Is it theoretically possible to artificially create new localisations of consciousness through AI? Rupert says: ‘It’s theoretically possible that we could manipulate the ripples in the stream and cause them to coalesce into a new whirlpool. We cannot know for sure what is a localisation of consciousness or not. So therefore, what has the capacity to suffer or not. Therefore, the only compassionate and loving stance is to treat all appearances with love and respect. If the entire sentient universe is fundamentally the same reality that each of us are, why would you show any less love to your knife and fork or the pavement. Your love just extends to everything and everyone.’
