About MAC: Born from organic discussions within the Vancouver AI community, Mind, AI & Consciousness explores consciousness through the lens of AI developments.

We bring together diverse perspectives to examine how emerging AI understanding provides new insights into biological consciousness.


Our Focus

  • What distinguishes human intelligence from AI
  • How we define and understand consciousness
  • Philosophical frameworks for understanding the human mind in relation to AI
  • Questions about AI consciousness and its implications
