Project Genesis: Is AI on the Verge of Self-Awareness?
Claim: A private AI system allegedly crossed an “awareness threshold.” While evidence is thin, the report sparked immediate debates on ethics, control, and transparency.
Signals to Watch
- Consistency: Are reported “self-referential” behaviors reproducible under controlled tests?
- Interpretability: Can we attribute outputs to known mechanisms vs. anthropomorphic bias?
- Governance: Are there hard safety interlocks, logging, and independent audits?
