Science, Future and controversy
How does mindfulness emerge from mindless matter? How do billions of neurons firing in patterns, or millions of artificial parameters in a neural network, give rise to understanding, consciousness, and meaning? This transition from body to mind, from physical substrate to mental experience, represents one of the most fascinating frontiers in both philosophy and artificial intelligence research.

For me, The Truman Show speaks to a fundamental paradox within us: the desire for truth, the fear of it, and the strange comfort we find in illusions. It explores not just deception, but what it means to live a life that feels empty—until something real pierces through.

Imagine you’re given a list of numbers. Let’s say 20 numbers, chosen from 1 to 100. The question is simple:
Is it always true that you can find three different numbers in the list whose sum is divisible by 3?
It sounds easy, right? But once you try different lists, you’ll start to wonder.

Can machines truly be creative? Some argue yes, pointing to AI-generated art, music, and literature. However, upon closer examination, it becomes apparent that the creativity exhibited by AI is merely a permutation of existing information rather than genuine innovation. True creativity, as exemplified by pioneers like Isaac Newton, involves the generation of new knowledge to tackle previously unsolved problems. In this essay, I will argue that while AI can mimic creativity to an extent, it ultimately fails to embody the essence of true innovation due to its inability to generate entirely novel solutions by creating new knowledge.

Children get in contact with AI through many things. AI systems are “embedded in toys, virtual assistants, video games, and adaptive learning software”. Children are on social media and algorithms determine what they watch, what products are advertised to them, and how they regard sexuality, race, and religion.
