This section explores scientific and philosophical debates on artificial consciousness and the limits of machine intelligence.
“Good” news: AI does not think, but it does speak. “Bad” news: our unconscious speaks, while we imagine that we are thinking. This dual observation, paradoxical at first glance, lies at the heart of what I call Artificial Subjectivity. Let us begin by clarifying what we mean by “thinking.” If by thinking we mean a…

Between the illusion of control and shifting symbolic structures, it is redefining the boundaries of human experience. More than three millennia ago, Odysseus reached the island of Circe, the sorceress who could turn men into beasts…
Rather than mimicking human performance, some researchers are focusing on its underlying mechanisms. Using brain data, they are paving the way for AI systems closer to human cognition. Artificial intelligence (AI) is advancing at breathtaking speed, but its foundations remain very different from those of the human brain. The most powerful artificial neural networks rely…
