TBC — Neuron-Derived AI Models

Company site for TBC, a startup turning findings from experiments on real neurons into software intended to make AI models cheaper and more efficient to run. It announces a partnership with AWS to commercialise what it calls the world's first neuron-derived AI model, and offers early access through an application.

Why I recommend it: Free to read, and worth knowing this direction exists. But every claim here is the company's own marketing: there is no published paper, benchmark or independent test on the site, and "world's first" is their phrase, not a verified fact. Read it to learn the pitch, not to conclude it works.

Testing the Conjecture That Quantum Processes Create Conscious Experience

Peer-reviewed paper in Entropy (28 May 2024) by Hartmut Neven and Adam Zalcman of Google Quantum AI with Christof Koch of the Allen Institute and others, proposing that conscious experience arises whenever a quantum superposition forms, and laying out quantum-biology experiments to test the idea. Open access; the full text is free at PubMed Central (PMC11203236).

Why I recommend it: Useful when someone claims AI is or isn't conscious: this is what a serious proposal on the question actually looks like — a conjecture with proposed experiments, not a verdict. Note the authors' own disclosures: two work for Google and one has a financial interest in a consciousness-measuring device.
