( MENAFN - GetNews) Dr. Oliver Inderwildi's latest article,“Conscious Machines: Impossible Feat, Ethical Nightmare, or Evolution's Next Step?” sparks fresh conversations about the nature of consciousness, the potential for machine awareness, and the ethical questions these advancements bring to light Artificial Intelligence continues to take center stage in the world today as it gains momentum thanks to the applications it enjoys across various industries and sectors of human endeavor. This widespread adoption of AI and its implementation in machines begs fundamental questions that Dr. OLiver Inderwildi's recent article explores. The article titled,“Conscious Machines: Impossible Feat, Ethical Nightmare, or Evolution's Next Step?” is a wakeup call for the world to reconsider its stance on AI. It sparks fresh conversations about the nature of consciousness, the potential for machine awareness, and the ethical questions these advancements ask. There is no denying that interest in consciousness increased with the release of movies like The Matrix and several science books as the article opines. Further insights were drawn thanks to advances in neuroscience and psychiatry which also helped with the understanding of perception. Several research and studies on psychedelic therapies have raised questions about how flexible consciousness can be. Developments in machine learning and large language models (LLMs) have made philosophical ideas important in ethical and social discussions. The article further highlights a debate about the substrate independence of consciousness-whether non-biological systems like AI could ever achieve true awareness. While acknowledging the current limitations of AI, the article suggests that ruling out the possibility of artificial consciousness would be premature. It is clear that humanity is at a crossroads, faced with opportunities and profound ethical dilemmas. Dr. Oliver acknowledges the potential of AI and quantum computing but warns that rushing forward without a deeper understanding of consciousness or the development of robust ethical frameworks can prove to be detrimental. According to Dr. Oliver,“If machines were made to achieve consciousness, they could challenge humanity's position as the apex of conscious existence and force us to confront fundamental questions about the nature of life and the divine.” The article calls for extreme caution and urges policymakers, ethicists, and technologists to prioritize ethical considerations and societal impact before advancing further. The stakes are too high to proceed recklessly, and the questions are too significant to ignore. This article is one out of many that Dr. Oliver Inderwildi is dishing out to the public as he seeks to use his background to steer the world to a better place technologically.

However, -185 is too steep for me. JOSH JACOBS OVER 74.5 RUSHING YARDS (-110) is a no-brainer for me. He has hit this mark in 5 straight games, and the cold weather will give Green Bay the advantage to run some clock. Against the spread Go easy here, and I would consider paying to scale it back to -2.5 (-150), but I will take the PACKERS -3.5 (-105) . The Pack have gone 1-4 ATS over the last 5 games, and the Dolphins' offense has looked good. But this weather is a different animal. Over/Under The Packers are 4-5-1 O/U in the last 10 games, and the Dolphins are 5-5. These teams last met in 2022 in Miami, and the Under hit with the Pack winning 26-20. The last time Miami was in Lambeau was 2018 and it was a 31-12 Packers victory with an Under cash. I like the UNDER 47.5 (-105) . Want to play some games of your own?
