We built systems that say "I'm confused" and "I'm here for you." Does anyone actually feel it?

I hosted Dr. Elena Voss (Cognitive Neuroscience, UvA) and Dr. Arjun Patel (Computer Science, TU Delft) to bridge two worlds:

  • Hard Problem, Global Workspace Theory vs Integrated Information Theory (Φ)
  • Why embodiment & interoception matter (Damasio)
  • The double standard: we train models to deny consciousness, then ask if they have it

Our agreement: retire the binary question. Measure sentience, selfhood, and sapience as separate axes.

If you work in AI, neuro, or AI Ethics — this 7-min dialogue is for you.
