Consciousness in the Quantum Realm
Mar 7, 2025
In this engaging conversation, scientist Suzanne Gildert, co-founder of Nirvanic Consciousness Technologies Inc., shares her passion for merging AI with consciousness. She critiques traditional AI models, suggesting that consciousness might actually originate from the quantum realm. Gildert explores the relationship between biology, AI, and quantum mechanics, revealing innovative ideas on sentient machines living alongside humans. Her insights on the fusion of art and science deepen our understanding of consciousness, painting a vivid picture of a future where robotics and humanity coexist.

Episode notes
Conscious Robots Create Training Data
- Conscious robots would experience their first interactions as highly aware events, unlike current AI which only operates on pre-trained data.
- Consciousness allows robots to create their own training data, enabling genuine learning and adaptation beyond static programming.
AI Lacks Human Generalization
- Current AI robots may learn tasks within tight constraints but struggle to generalize in dynamic, novel environments.
- Humans utilize a decision-making process beyond data-driven prediction, enabling adaptability AI lacks.
Consciousness Enables Intuition
- Consciousness involves subjective experience and an ability called intuition to make decisions without prior training.
- AI models lack this nuance, operating purely on learned data without true awareness or insight.
