Seth, Block & Tononi in Nature: three reasons why AI is not conscious and perhaps never will be ↗
AI: separates intelligence from experience; Field: leading philosophers and neuroscientists debate AI consciousness in a top journal
Why this level
Lowered to L0 (not yet transformed): AI is mainly an object of philosophical study; tool use is limited to sporadic literature-review attempts and LLM experiments in experimental philosophy. Composite score below 0.75.
↓ L1 → L0
S = 0.30·method + 0.35·discovery + 0.25·adoption + 0.10·education (education scores 0 when there is no evidence; if empty, the other weights are renormalised)
