DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>All Times are in <em>Central European Time</em> (CET)<br><br>Title: </strong><em>Do Large Language Models have</em> Consciousness?<br><br><strong>Abstract:&nbsp\;</strong>In this talk\, I will discuss both the issue of whether LLMs in general think or more in general have intelligence and Chalmers&rsquo\; (2023) claims that unlike present large language models (LLMs)\, an updated version of them (sophisticated LLM+s) may reasonably have phenomenal consciousness.</p>\n<p>First of all\, I will claim that it is quite likely that LLMs think\, but this does not depend on the kind of processes that they undergo. Moreover\, I will sketch some assessments and main consequences that such claims plausibly have with respect to issues that Chalmers himself greatly contributed to make popular in recent philosophy of mind: the hard problem of (phenomenal) consciousness and the relationship between that form of consciousness and its physical basis\, the plausibility of panpsychism\, the zombie hypothesis.</p>\n<p><strong>Online at: </strong>https://unisi.webex.com/meet/salvatore.pistoiareda</p>\n<p><strong>Contacts: </strong>salvatore.pistoiareda@unisi.it</p>
