His research and ideas, particularly the concept of human consciousness as a "controlled hallucination," offer a new perspective on understanding the human mind. Anil Seth's work combines neuroscience, psychology, and computational science. He is known for his study of the biological basis of consciousness and has become a leading figure in this field. Dr. Seth is also the author of the book Being You: A New Science of Consciousness. 

Is Conscious AI Possible?

Some scientists studying consciousness say that no one knows if conscious AI already exists or is possible in the future, but are concerned about the implications. 

Three leaders of the Association for Mathematical Consciousness Science (AMCS) are calling to the UN for more funding to support research on consciousness and AI.  According to them, society needs scientific investigations into the boundaries between conscious and unconscious systems. Ethical, legal and safety issues are at stake. Should AI have full or partial human rights?
