Age-related bias and artificial intelligence: a scoping review
Whether current or near-term AI systems could be conscious is a topic of scientific interest and increasing public concern. This report argu… (see more)es for, and exemplifies, a rigorous and empirically grounded approach to AI consciousness: assessing existing AI systems in detail, in light of our best-supported neuroscientific theories of consciousness. We survey several prominent scientific theories of consciousness, including recurrent processing theory, global workspace theory, higher-order theories, predictive processing, and attention schema theory. From these theories we derive"indicator properties"of consciousness, elucidated in computational terms that allow us to assess AI systems for these properties. We use these indicator properties to assess several recent AI systems, and we discuss how future systems might implement them. Our analysis suggests that no current AI systems are conscious, but also suggests that there are no obvious technical barriers to building AI systems which satisfy these indicators.

We use the Galaxy Morphology Posterior Estimation Network (GaMPEN) to estimate morphological parameters and associated uncertainties for ∼… (see more)8 million galaxies in the Hyper Suprime-Cam Wide survey with z ≤ 0.75 and m ≤ 23. GaMPEN is a machine-learning framework that estimates Bayesian posteriors for a galaxy’s bulge-to-total light ratio (L B /L T ), effective radius (R e ), and flux (F). By first training on simulations of galaxies and then applying transfer learning using real data, we trained GaMPEN with 1% of our data set. This two-step process will be critical for applying machine-learning algorithms to future large imaging surveys, such a
