The Complexity of Consciousness
2:02:01 - 2:08:23 (06:22)
The process of building a human is much easier than reverse-engineering consciousness. The level of complexity of the total biochemical system at the level of a single cell is less complex than the level of neural networking in the human brain or in an AI.

The speaker suggests that while a sufficiently intelligent being, like AI, is likely to have some form of consciousness, it remains uncertain whether it would be like biological consciousness due to the differing levels of complexity in their respective systems.

Summary
The speaker suggests that while a sufficiently intelligent being, like AI, is likely to have some form of consciousness, it remains uncertain whether it would be like biological consciousness due to the differing levels of complexity in their respective systems. He also raises the concern that humans may blur the lines between interactions with AI and other living beings, like dogs.

It is easier to build a human from scratch than to reverse engineer the complexity of the evolutionary process of the human mind.

Summary
It is easier to build a human from scratch than to reverse engineer the complexity of the evolutionary process of the human mind. Understanding the development of electrical fields in the brain during early stages is crucial to unlocking tricky aspects of cognition and human consciousness.
