Anil K. Seth announces that BBS's new collection "Conscious artificial intelligence and biological naturalism" is temporarily fully open access, including the target article, all 50 commentaries (many disagreeing with him), and his response. The collection examines whether AI could be conscious, computation and mind, and his biological naturalism position. He also links to his Berggruen Prize-winning essay "The Mythology of Conscious AI" and a TED talk as easier entry points.
