What’s more crazy is that, since AI can process information much faster than the human brain, it’s probably possible to engineer digital minds that are multiple orders of magnitude more sentient than the human brain.[1] I can’t precisely tell how much more sentient, but biological neurons have a typical peak frequency of 200 Hz, whereas for transistors, it can exceed 2 GHz (10 millions times more).[2]
It’s not us versus them. As Nick Bostrom says, we should search for “paths that will enable digital minds and biological minds to coexist, in a mutually beneficial way where all of these different forms can flourish and thrive”.[1]
That’s a crucial subject indeed.
