As AI evolves, scientists are racing to understand consciousness.
Decoding consciousness: a scientific and ethical race in the AI era.
From reshaping medicine and law to redefining AI ethics, the implications are enormous. Read more about this urgent scientific quest.
As artificial intelligence (AI) and neurotechnologies advance at an unprecedented rate, scientists warn that understanding consciousness is more urgent than ever. Consciousness—the awareness of oneself and the surrounding world—remains one of science’s deepest mysteries. Experts argue that decoding it could have profound implications for AI, medicine, mental health, law, animal welfare, and emerging technologies like brain–computer interfaces.
