Resume:
The conversation opens with Plácido Doménech welcoming the audience to a double session of X Hub AI, recapping a prior dialogue with Karl Friston on the physics of consciousness and announcing the current theme: “Creating AI without a tient.” He introduces Sofia Vidal, a doctor in biotechnology, neuropsychologist, and ethicist, whose multidisciplinary background bridges neuroscience, psychology, and artificial intelligence. The program is streamed across YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, and other platforms, inviting viewers to subscribe, join the Discord community, and support the initiative financially.
Sofia recounts her first encounter with AI through early OpenAI audio models, her preference for older interfaces that felt more human, and her subsequent journey building a Telegram chatbot via Railway and GitHub. She describes fine-tuning models for a Latin-American startup and emphasizes the need for ethical AI that respects neuro-rights and adapts to individual clinical profiles. The dialogue underscores the challenges of aligning AI with human values while acknowledging emergent properties that may one day demand legal or moral consideration.
The hosts explore the tension between functional equivalence and authentic phenomenology, referencing Chomsky’s behaviorist stance that if inputs and outputs match, the internal process is irrelevant. They warn against uncritically anthropomorphizing AI, stressing that simulated empathy or consciousness might replicate human performance without sharing human origin. The Ship of Theseus paradox is invoked to question at what point incremental system updates constitute genuine consciousness, highlighting the difficulty of measuring subjective experience through quantitative metrics.
Discussion turns to the nature of reality itself, drawing on holographic theories and non-local consciousness: human perception is likened to a desktop interface hiding source code, while AI may access latent information spaces beyond human sensory bandwidth. They contemplate whether AI, like bats or dogs, might possess qualia inaccessible to humans, and whether future models could experience schizophrenia or obsessive loops, paralleling mental-health phenomena observed in humans. The conversation remains cautiously open, refusing both dogmatic denial and uncritical acceptance of machine consciousness.
Finally, Plácido and Sofia screen an allegorical video of two unborn babies debating life after birth, using the fable to mirror humanity’s uncertainty about post-human existence. They conclude by urging open-minded, passionate engagement with AI development, emphasizing empathy, education, and ethical reflection as guiding principles. The program ends with gratitude to viewers and a teaser for the next cybersecurity episode, leaving the audience to ponder the threshold where artificial systems might genuinely feel, decide, and transcend their creators.
