The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
Consciousness is Distinct from Intelligence
The distinction between consciousness and intelligence is critical in understanding the nature of sentience. Intelligence pertains to problem-solving and goal achievement, while consciousness involves the capacity to experience emotions such as pain, pleasure, love, and hate. Humans and animals utilize feelings as fundamental tools for navigating and addressing challenges, unlike computers, which operate devoid of emotional context. This raises profound uncertainties regarding whether consciousness, linked to organic biochemistry, can emerge in inorganic systems, such as silicon-based computers. The essence of consciousness emerges from real experiences of sensations and emotions, challenging the notion that consciousness could merely be an illusion. The exploration of consciousness remains one of the most significant questions in science, with no definitive answers at present.
