Can AI have consciousness? │Revolution Festival 2024
Description
Is artificial intelligence truly conscious—or is it just hype? At Revolution Festival 2024, Daniel Morley applies the Marxist method to cut through the illusions surrounding AI. While tech billionaires claim AI is a revolution on par with human thought, Marxism shows that consciousness is not simply data processing but a product of labour, society, and material conditions. By examining the difference between artificial intelligence and human consciousness, the talk explores what makes humans unique and why bourgeois science misunderstands the nature of the mind.
This talk is essential listening for anyone following debates on AI, automation, and the future of work under capitalism. From the standpoint of Marxist philosophy, Daniel explains why only communism can unlock the real potential of technology—freeing it from profit and placing it at the service of humanity.
