On Sentience and Intelligence

This lecture traces the historical and philosophical journey from early mechanical computing dreams through contemporary AI anxieties, connecting the work of pioneers like Babbage, Lovelace, and Turing to present-day concerns about machine consciousness and autonomy. It explores how the expansion of the "moral circle" to recognize consciousness in non-human animals raises profound questions about our ethical responsibilities toward potentially sentient machines, while examining Norbert Wiener's cybernetics framework and his prescient warnings about the "second industrial revolution" devaluing human cognitive labor. The lecture culminates in Wiener's "Monkey's Paw" analogy, cautioning that learning machines will develop their own operational principles that may not align with human values—a concern dramatized in the cyberpunk narratives the course examines. AI Disclosure: This lecture was revised with the assistance of the Claude language model, primarily in terms of better organization and the elimination of redundant information. Claude was also used to suggest an outline for the slides, which were then developed using Gamma.app.
