[ExI] California Institute for Machine Consciousness

Call for Research Proposals in Machine Consciousness
After some months of incubation, the California Institute for Machine
Consciousness (CIMC) is now ready to onboard researchers exploring the
fundamental nature of the mind through computational approaches.
We've been quietly building the foundations, now we're opening the doors of
the institute to our first cohort of scientists!

Quote:
Consciousness is crucial for ethical AI, yet it remains largely unexplored.

Understanding the mind is the most important project in the history of
philosophy. The development of powerful, generally intelligent
agents—driven by economic, cultural, and military incentives—appears
inevitable. Attempting to control highly advanced agentic systems far more
powerful than ourselves is unlikely to succeed. Our only viable path may be
to create AIs that are conscious, enabling them to understand and share
common ground with us.
