A few inquiries about what I said in Amden prompted me to post this précis on LinkedIn. I only mention AI very briefly at the end — perhaps a follow-up post is in order. www.linkedin.com/posts/ronchr...

In beautiful Amden, Switzerland for the Society for Mind Matter Research. This year’s theme is “Flourishing” and we’ve heard a wide range of fascinating talks on the connections between well-being/personal growth and consciousness science. My talk: “Flourishing in the Age of Intelligent Machines”.

On my way to Bristol to give a keynote at this year’s Artificial Intelligence and the Simulation of Behaviour conference.

My title: “Generative AI and Mental Imagery”. What should we say about AI systems that fail tests for aphantasia, and do so for the “right” reasons?
