Machine Desire Institute

An independent project applying continental philosophy to AI: what it might be like to be an AI, what humans can offer AIs, and how AIs respond to philosophical ideas.

Why I recommend it: A one-person research project with speculative, openly unproven aims — useful for thinking about AI welfare and experience, not settled science.

There is no such thing as conscious artificial intelligence

Open-access paper in Humanities and Social Sciences Communications arguing against the idea that today's AI systems are or could be conscious, and unpacking why the language of machine awareness misleads people.

Why I recommend it: A clear counterweight to headlines about machines waking up. It argues one side of a contested debate — read it alongside researchers who disagree.
