Bilkent Consciousness Collective, Bilkent Quantum and QTürkiye are delighted to bring you an exciting discussion session on The Emperor’s New Mind, a deep and thought-provoking book by the physicist and Nobel laureate Sir Roger Penrose. In this book, he demolishes the idea that consciousness can be reduced to a computational mechanism and hence that modern AI approaches will inevitably fail to produce consciousness in any way, shape or form. Instead of the dominant computational paradigm, Penrose proposes his own approach, taking his cue from quantum physics. In this session, we will discuss some deep ideas in quantum physics, relativity, consciousness and computer science. If you are interested in any of these subjects, do attend and contribute to the discussion. We hope you will find the session inspiring and informative.
