As a researcher in philosophy specializing in ethics applied to conversational AI systems, I have been studying conversational agents and human-computer interaction for years. At nearly every talk or panel I participate in, during the Q&A session, I am asked to engage in philosophical discussions about conscious AI and superintelligent machines, and often to explain the details of the technology to audiences that are unfamiliar. This happened a couple of weeks ago. Frustrated, I tweeted a thread that went viral, probably because many colleagues face the same situation. Many people in the machine learning industry– and the interested public– want to discuss consciousness at any opportunity.
