Machine Dreaming and Consciousness is the first book to delve into the questions raised by the emergence of machine dreaming. In order to enhance human interaction, artificial intelligence (AI) systems with primary and self-reflexive consciousness are often employed to create waking experiences that resemble human dreams. What is surprising is that AI systems easily meet the operational criteria for dreaming that are applicable to humans as well. These AI "dreams" differ significantly from anthropomorphic dreaming, incorporating fuzzy logic, liquid illogic, and integration instability – processes that are potentially critical in expanding creative capacity for both biological and artificial systems.
Presently, multi-linear AI systems are being developed to mimic the structural framework of the human central nervous system. Building the biological foundation of dreams – emotions, associative memories, and visual imagery – falls well within our technical capabilities. The emergence of AI dreams may indicate further advancement in the development of consciousness within these systems.
Yet, the focus on AI dreaming raises broader questions. Dreaming largely defines our humanity, so what is uniquely human about the dream state? Moreover, what do we sacrifice when we limit our attention to the technical and biological aspects of dreaming, extending the capacity for dreaming into our artificial creations?
Machine Dreaming and Consciousness offers a thorough exploration of these issues for neuroscientists and researchers investigating consciousness and cognition. It addresses the role and significance of dream-like processing in AI systems, exploring the functions of dreaming in the creative process for both humans and machines. Additionally, it presents an alternative perspective on the philosophy of machine consciousness.
Overall, this book provides a comprehensive discussion of machine dreaming and consciousness, making it a valuable resource for neuroscientists and other researchers studying consciousness and cognition.
