Professor Mark Bishop does not think that computers can be conscious or have phenomenological states of consciousness unless we are willing to accept panpsychism which is idea that mentality is fundamental and ubiquitous in the natural world, or put simply, that your goldfish and everything else for that matter has a mind. Panpsychism postulates that distinctions between intelligences are largely arbitrary. Mark’s work in the ‘philosophy of AI’ led to an influential critique of computational approaches to Artificial Intelligence through a thorough examination of John Searle's 'Chinese Room Argument' Mark just published a paper called artificial intelligence is stupid and causal reasoning wont fix it. He makes it clear in this paper that in his opinion computers will never be able to compute everything, understand anything, or feel anything.  00:00:00​ Tim Intro 00:15:04​ Intro  00:18:49​ Introduction to Marks ideas  00:25:49​ Some problems are not computable  00:29:57​ the dancing was Pixies fallacy  00:32:36​ The observer relative problem, and its all in the mapping  00:43:03​ Conscious Experience  00:53:30​ Intelligence without representation, consciousness is something that we do  01:02:36​ Consciousness helps us to act autonomously  01:05:13​ The Chinese room argument  01:14:58​ Simulation argument and computation doesn't have phenomenal consciousness  01:17:44​ Language informs our colour perception  01:23:11​ We have our own distinct ontologies  01:27:12​ Kurt Gödel, Turing and Penrose and the implications of their work
