A Theoretical Computer Science Perspective on Consciousness and Artificial General Intelligence
Engineering May 1, 2023 L. Blum, M. Blum
We have defined the Conscious Turing Machine (CTM) for the purpose of investigating a Theoretical Computer Science (TCS) approach to consciousness. For this, we have hewn to the TCS demand for simplicity and understandability. The CTM is consequently and intentionally a simple machine. It is not a model of the brain, though its design has greatly benefited - and continues to benefit - from...
