Substrates, computations, and abundant consciousness: Commentary on Anil Seth
1University of Texas at Arlington, Arlington, TX, USA luke.mf.roelofs@gmail.com.
Abstract:
Seth opposes computational views of consciousness to views that emphasise biology, because they imply different verdicts about hypothetical AIs that replicate information-processing without being biologically alive. But if we accept a background theory like panpsychism, on which consciousness is abundant in nature, this opposition becomes less central: even if a non-biological system could not have our consciousness, we should still default to accepting any self-ascriptions of consciousness it makes.
