    Best quote from Joscha Bach: Bewusstsein & Cortical Conductor Theory (CTC) in der KI

    “

    Bewusstsein entsteht dadurch, dass dieser Dirigent ein Protokoll führt; er integriert die verstreuten Informationen aus den verschiedenen Hirnarealen zu einer kohärenten Geschichte.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Die Cortical Conductor Theory, kurz CTC, ist ein von Joscha Bach entwickeltes Konzept zur Erklärung von Bewusstsein. Miles erklärt im Podcast, dass Bach das Gehirn nicht als Suche nach einer magischen Zutat betrachtet, sondern als eine Frage der Organisation. Ähnlich wie in einem Orchester geht es bei der CTC darum, wie verschiedene Prozesse im Gehirn koordiniert werden, um eine flüssige Intelligenz und Bewusstsein zu ermöglichen.

    Jackson zitiert den KI-Pionier Marvin Minsky, um die Komplexität des Bewusstseins zu verdeutlichen. Minsky stellte fest, dass Computer bisher nicht so designt wurden, dass sie sich ihrer Handlungen bewusst sind. Er fügte jedoch kritisch hinzu, dass auch Menschen sich meistens nicht darüber im Klaren sind, was sie eigentlich tun. Diese Perspektive dient als Grundlage, um Joscha Bachs Ansätze zur maschinellen Intelligenz besser zu verstehen.

    Joscha Bach ist ein renommierter Forscher, der unter anderem an Elite-Institutionen wie dem MIT und in Harvard tätig war. Er gilt als Experte für Künstliche Intelligenz und Kognitionswissenschaft. Im Podcast diskutieren Jackson und Miles seinen innovativen Weg, das Problem des Bewusstseins durch organisatorische Strukturen wie die Cortical Conductor Theory zu lösen, anstatt nach einer biologischen Besonderheit zu suchen.
