Neuroscientist Anil Seth announced that his long-gestating collection 'Conscious AI and Biological Naturalism' is now out in BBS (Behavioral and Brain Sciences), accompanied by fifty scholarly commentaries. Seth remains highly skeptical about conscious AI in silicon digital systems but calls the exchange one of the most rewarding experiences of his career. Neuroscientist Michael Ramstead recommends it as a must-read for this age of metaphysical confusion.
