The Value of Consciousness and Free Will in a Technological Dystopia

The Value of Consciousness and Free Will in a Technological Dystopia
Allan McCay, Journal of Evolution and Technology, 2018/09/21
"According to Harari, we face a bleak future, and may become economically useless, as a result of being superseded by non-conscious AI and/or enhanced humans."

Physical models and embodied cognition
Ulrich E. Stegmann, Synthese, 2018/09/21

OECD, 2018/09/21
The OECD's Education at a Glance report for 2018 is more like a steady gaze, weighing in as a 463 page PDF. You won't need to download the whole thing at once, though, as individual sections and country reports are available as separate documents. More...
