Psychiatrist and father of seven, Dr. Richard Wadsworth, has implemented a checklist for his children to complete before being allowed screen time, including exercise, chores, and homework. By setting rules and boundaries around screen time, Wadsworth aims to prevent screen addiction and promote productivity. Research shows the negative effects of excessive screen time on children's mental health, and Wadsworth's approach has led to improved behavior and well-being in his kids.
A group of neuroscientists, philosophers, and computer scientists have developed a checklist of criteria to determine if an AI system has a high chance of being conscious. The researchers published their provisional guide in an effort to address the lack of detailed discussion on AI consciousness. They argue that identifying AI consciousness is important due to its moral implications. The checklist is based on various neuroscience-based theories and focuses on phenomenal consciousness, the subjective experience. The authors emphasize the need for more precise theories of consciousness and invite other researchers to refine their methodology. While existing AI systems like ChatGPT show some indicators of consciousness, the study does not suggest any strong candidates for consciousness yet.
