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.

If you lack data, keep quiet. Here’s why.
It’s like forming an opinion about a restaurant from one unsavory meal or questioning a medical treatment’s effectiveness due to a smattering of adverse outcomes. This phenomenon, known as “small sample bias” or the “law of small numbers,” can significantly distort our judgments and decision-making processes. It’s a deceptive detour that frequently misleads us.

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.
