1. Interview: AI vs. Human Awareness? Prof. Anil Seth Has The Answers (Undivided Attention, TED)
Will AI ever start to think by itself? If it did, how would we know, and what would it mean?
Consciousness, once the domain of philosophers, priests, poets, and artists, is now being explored by neuroscientists. They aim to uncover how consciousness emerges and whether these discoveries can be applied to AI.
Prof. Anil Seth a Professor of Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience at the University of Sussex, Director of the Sussex Centre for Consciousness Science, and author, explores questions of AI consciousness’ science, ethics, and incentives.
Prof. Seth is trying to answer the above questions in this episode of Undivided Attention.

2. Red Path: Bossware, Productivity Score For Remote and Office Work – More Harm Than Good (The Guardian)
Employee monitoring software, “bossware” has become dominant as remote work surged, and since then also in offices. It is an attempt to answer the productivity measurement challenge by using technology.
Tracking keystrokes, recording mouse movements, activating webcams, and capturing screenshots with or without employees’ knowledge are only part of the tools used. AI models entered the game with analysis and assessment of the data collected.
Experts in the field highlight ethical and practical concerns of such monitoring tools, including privacy invasion, stress, and potential biases, and call for better regulations to protect workers’ rights and mental health.
Critics argue that while these tools aim to enhance productivity and security, they often undermine trust and autonomy, causing more harm than good.
