Cameron Berg on the Empirical Science of AI Consciousness

​Join us at Collider for a talk by Cameron Berg, founder and director of Reciprocal Research, a nonprofit building the empirical science of AI consciousness. Cameron's work sits at the intersection of cognitive science, AI, and philosophy, asking a question that's becoming harder to ignore: could frontier AI systems have subjective experiences, and how would we actually find out?

​Before starting Reciprocal Research, Cameron was a research director at AE Studio, a Meta AI Resident, and studied cognitive science at Yale. His recent work includes a paper arguing that the evaluative process central to learning (computing progress toward or away from goals) may be identical to conscious experience, published at AAAI.

​Whether you think AI consciousness is an urgent moral question or a conceptual confusion, this should be a fascinating evening. Come curious.
