Consciousness may emerge not from code, but from the way living brains physically compute.

A new theoretical framework argues that the long-standing split between computational functionalism and biological naturalism misses how real brains actually compute.

The content recommendation algorithm that powers the online short video platform TikTok has once again come under the ...

Right now, the debate about consciousness often feels frozen between two entrenched positions. On one side sits computational ...

Google claims to have developed a quantum computer algorithm that is 13,000 times faster than the most powerful supercomputers. This would bring the technology another step closer to real-world ...

The familiar fight between “mind as software” and “mind as biology” may be a false choice. This work proposes biological computationalism: the idea that brains compute, but not in the abstract, symbol ...

A study, which researchers from the U.S. and Germany published last year, found TikTok's algorithm "exploits user interests in 30% to 50% of the recommendation videos", after examining data from 347 ...

Rather than try to resist temptation in the moment, many successful people arrange their lives to minimize the need for ...
