The brain evaluates the images it is processing against a “reality threshold.” If the signal passes the threshold, the brain thinks it’s real; if it doesn’t, the brain thinks it’s imagined.

scientific investigations of the boundaries between conscious and unconscious systems are urgently needed, and they cite ethical, legal and safety issues that make it crucial to understand AI consciousness. For example, if AI develops consciousness, should people be allowed to simply switch it off after use?

Uncertainty is our only certainty when it comes to AI and the future of work. This does not mean workers, busi -nesses, and the government have no options to prepare for that future. The most important step they can take is to promote and strengthen workers’ noncognitive skills to enhance their ability to adapt and persevere amid rapid change.

we’d argue that if you produce something iconic, you can create a cultural moment that ripples through people’s crowded psyches and impacts them deeply. And if you’re culturally and commercially successful, it paves the way for future experiments: it becomes easier to both sell tickets and sell ideas to potential clients.

When the mind searches for the future, it sees the past.

Although the shift did not happen that quickly, there is certainly evidence to suggest that the role of mindfulness within psychological treatment is here to stay and will only increase as times goes on.
