A Future with Conscious AI is Closer Than We Think — with Michael Gfoeller

Dr. Patrick Slowinski speaks with former U.S. diplomat and author Michael Gfoeller about the future of artificial intelligence.

In this video, we touch on ideas explored in Michael Gfoeller’s book Consciousness is Curvature. If you’d like to dive deeper, you can find it here: https://www.amazon.com/Consciousness-Curvature-Essays-Geometry-Thought/dp/168053372X
