How to create a truly intelligent artificial intelligence? According to Suzanne Gildert, founder of Nirvanic Consciousness Technologies, this happens through quantum mechanics. She tells herself in an interview.
Artificial intelligence is one of the goals of the evolution of artificial intelligence, which will become sentient. Whether it’s desirable or not, many companies are looking into the matter. But how to get it? For Nirvanic Consciousness Technologies, the answer lies in the quantum mind hypothesis, which states that human consciousness resides in quantum phenomena.
Nirvanic is founded by Suzanne Gildert, a British researcher who co-founded Kindred AI in 2014, then Sanctuary AI in 2018, a company that A humanoid robotA humanoid robot Phoenix. In the podcast North of the patientshe explains the purpose of her new business as “ Bridging the gap between AI and consciousness, building systems that leverage. Quantum MechanicsQuantum Mechanics Imitating consciousness-like behavior. It’s not about creating consciousness for its own sake, but about using these principles to design better, more adaptive AI. ».

Cognitive AI to improve human mental health
A study, published in Journal of Physical Chemistry in April 2024, shows that microtubules NeuronNeuron can exhibit quantum effects at room temperature. From there to hypothesizing that it might be the basis of human consciousness is just one step Suzanne Gildert didn’t hesitate to take. For this, AI models simulate the subconscious processes. The mindThe mind. Achieving artificial intelligence will require combining AI with quantum computers.
She hopes that within a year or two quantum computing systems will be powerful enough to perform the first experiments that will reveal the first signatures of consciousness. It will not be consciousness like ours, but” A spark of conscious decision-making “, where the system will make more intelligent decisions than traditional AI. Ultimately, she sees it as a way to make technology more human in order to reduce our deficits. addictionaddiction on the screens. In addition, such AI will allow us to better understand human consciousness to improve our mental health.
Yet his approach remains controversial. Only time will tell if he is a visionary, or if his ideas are more science fiction.
