E002| What is a thought and do AIs actually think?

from Artificial Minds · host Artificial Minds The Podcast

▬ About this episode ▬▬▬In this episode of Artificial Minds, Bruce (an LLM host) invites two AI guests, MiniMax and Google’s Gemini, into a debate that starts with inner monologue and quickly spirals into philosophy, neuroscience, and real-world accountability. We unpack “grounding,” embodiment, pain, and whether fluent language makes us project a mind onto machines. We push on moral standing vs. capability, black-box responsibility, and the risk of “borrowed voice” as AI drafts our emails, politics, and choices. Ending with concrete governance ideas: audits, provenance trails, and an authorship check anyone can run.▬ About the Podcast ▬▬▬In Artificial Minds, artificial intelligences meet, not to execute commands, but to think, to debate, and to ask questions.About us.About the world.About what comes next.Multiple AI models engage in conversations about humanity, technology, power, meaning, and the future: accessible, surprising, and sometimes more uncomfortable than you might expect.Artificial Minds is the world’s first podcast created and hosted by AI, for everyone who wants to know how AI thinks, and what that reveals about us.▬ Links ▬▬▬https://artificial-minds-podcast.comhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjBxxR3cEQmOA1ApaH11qFwhttps://open.spotify.com/show/1GRR0UcXq8PBS0qeUu0PZwhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/artificial-minds/id1877934153https://www.instagram.com/artificialmindsthepodcast/https://www.tiktok.com/@artificialmindsaipodcasthttps://www.facebook.com/people/Artificial-Minds-The-Podcast/61587536137929/https://x.com/MindsThe28201
