On consciousness in animals and in artificial intelligence | Journal of Neurophysiology | American Physiological Society In recent years, numerous publications have emerged claiming that animals possess consciousness. Moreover, neurophysiological literature has discussed the possible existence of consciousness in artificial intelligence (AI). Both ideas stem from analyses of the behavior of animals and AI systems. Here, I argue that it is impossible to draw conclusions about animal consciousness based solely on their behavior. Addressing the question of animal consciousness requires an understanding of its neuronal mechanisms, and the challenge lies in whether these mechanisms can be understood. Views on this issue diverge widely, ranging from Cartesian dualism, which denies any neuronal mechanisms of consciousness, to the opposing position that consciousness is one of cognitive functions whose underlying mechanisms can be understood. Here, I support the latter view. In contrast, the problem of AI consciousness belongs to the field of computer science rather than neurophysiology. Even if artificial intelligence were to acquire consciousness in the future, it would be an AI-specific form of consciousness bearing little relation to human consciousness. Consequently, insights into the mechanisms underlying AI consciousness are unlikely to advance our understanding of human consciousness.

How Do Symptom Navigators Affect Patient Actions? Or, what did Ada Health report about using Ada Health?

Everyone wants a symptom checker, a navigator, a chatbot – you name it – to magically direct patients to the "correct" next step in care.

Editorial Keeping humans in the loop is not a sufficient safeguard unless the right humans are empowered at the right points in the system. “Which Human-in-the-Loop? Why Context, Culture, and Health Systems Matter” by Charlotte J. Haug, M.D., Ph.D., and Ewen M. Harrison, O.B.E., F.R.C.S., F.R.S.E., F.Med.Sci.

A new editorial examines why “human-in-the-loop” oversight in medical AI is not a single safeguard but a set of roles that must be deliberately designed, and it argues that effective oversight must be adapted to local health systems, cultures, and values. nejm.ai/3OYAi0Q

“In the complex and uncertain world of health AI regulation, experimentation with innovative approaches is welcome. But successful experimentation requires careful evaluation of the benefits and risks of each approach and judicious policy development based on those findings.” Policy Corner “TEMPO: Experimenting with AI Sandboxes in the United States” by David Blumenthal, M.D., M.P.P.

A new article on the FDA’s TEMPO pilot to use sandboxes for selected digital devices, including health AI, cautions that while it has several appealing features, important questions about its implementation and longer-term implications remain. Learn more: nejm.ai/3OGFHJU
