Artificial Intelligence: "We can't control these agents even today"
US best-selling author Michael Pollan on emotions in AI, conversations with Claude – and which parts of his life he would never share with a chatbot.
Michael Pollan, author and expert on food and consciousness, is interviewed in a garden in Berkeley. He has written about the effects of food, caffeine, and psychedelics on humans, and is now exploring the mystery of consciousness. Pollan distinguishes between consciousness and sensory perception, citing the example of jellyfish at the Monterey Aquarium, which appear to have a form of awareness.
He notes that all living beings have a unique form of consciousness or sensory perception, dependent on their physical body and senses.
