Artificial Consciousness, Superintelligence and Ethics in Robotics: How to Get There?
Mind and Matter. 2021. Vol. 19. No. 1. P. 7–43.
Can future robots and artificial-intelligence (AI) systems have consciousness and genuinely human intelligence – or even superhuman intelligence? Is it possible for them to behave ethically? Here we look at these questions from the point of view of philosophy and AI, and argue that these questions are related: their answer hinges on the fulfillment of the same condition. Starting from an analysis of the concept of consciousness, we argue that the key capacity that computers and robots should possess in order to emulate human cognition and (ethical) consciousness is the capacity to learn and apply “coherent webs-of-theories”. We conjecture that where classic AI has been, in essence, “data-driven”, the greatest leap forward would be “theory-driven” AI. We review prominent work in deep learning and cognitive neuroscience to back up this claim.

We extend the static pattern analysis method to the temporal dimension by introducing a six-type trajectory taxonomy that classifies objects according to the frequency and structure of pattern switches over an observation window of T > 8 periods. For each object, a reference pattern is designated as the most frequently occupied group over the observation ...

This article examines the integration of large language model based chatbots into educational practices in Russian higher education through the lens of critical theory and curriculum ideologies. Drawing on Ivan Illich’s concept of convivial tools and Jürgen Habermas’s distinction between instrumental and communicative rationality, the authors conceptualize large language models as technologies capable of operating ...

The incompressible three-dimensional Euler equations develop very thin pancake-like regions of exponen tially increasing vorticity. The characteristic thickness of such regions decreases exponentially with time, while the other two dimensions do not change considerably, making the flow near each pancake strongly anisotropic. The pancakes emerge in increasing number with time, which may enhance the anisotropy ...

This paper explores the performance criteria of the newest algorithm for solving the problem of finding shortest paths on a graph from a given vertex – Bounded Multi-Source Shortest Path Algorithm
(BM-SSP). The algorithm was published in 2025 and, as its creators claim, it is asymptotically superior to Dijkstra’s deterministic algorithm. However, in the publication devoted ...

Comparative studies are carried out to investigate high-field charge degradation effects in the gate
dielectric of metal—insulator—semiconductor (MIS) structures with aluminum and polysilicon gates.
Charging phenomena in MIS structures are explored using high-field electron injection into the dielectric
under conditions of gradually increasing voltage current density, with periodic short-term switching to a measurement
mode at a constant low injection ...

Clarity of knowledge and reasoning is necessary in many cases. Yet vagueness in scientific thinking related to surprise, curiosity, "ability to engage with not-knowing" (de Freitas) and abductive reasoning is also a crucially important source of scientific creativity which supplements combinatorial logic when dealing with the already known. Starting from studies by C. S. Peirce ...

Water confined in heterogeneous clay–quartz pores: Structure and dynamics from atomistic simulations
Glushak A., Tararushkin E., Smirnov G., Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects 2027 Vol. 752 Article 141756
The molecular-scale behavior of water in heterogeneous clay–quartz systems is critical for understanding cementation processes in natural soils and compacted bentonite, which is crucial for oil recovery and nuclear waste disposal barriers construction. Here we investigate how heterogeneity of mixed Na-montmorillonite and α-quartz surfaces affect water structure and dynamics in nanopores of 2.5 to 60 Å ...

One of the effective means of protecting digital images is invisible watermarking. Different scenarios have different requirements for watermark resistance to post-processing. Robust watermarking schemes are resistant to a wide range of modifications. Fragile watermarking schemes are designed for integrity control and are destroyed by even minor modifications of images. Semi-fragile watermarking schemes combine features ...

We consider the remote state restoring and perfect transfer of the zero-order coherence matrix (PTZ) in a spin system governed by the XXZ-Hamiltonian conserving the excitation number. The restoring tool is represented by several nonzero Larmor frequencies in the Hamiltonian. To simplify the analysis we use two approximating models including either step-wise or pulse-type time-dependence ...

We consider the state-restoring protocol based on the controlled interaction of a linear chain with environment through incoherent control by the specially adjusted step-wise time-dependent Lindblad operators. We show that the best restoring result (maximal scale factors in the restored state) corresponds to the symmetrical Lindblad equation. (0, 1)-excitation dynamics is considered numerically, and restoring ...

The distribution of entanglement is a crucial task for quantum communication towards realizing a globe-spanning quantum internet. Recently, a protocol for deterministic long-distance distribution of macroscopic entanglement over a network of ensembles of qubits was introduced (Pyrkov et al., 2025). It was shown that this protocol allows for the propagation of macroscopic amounts of entanglement ...

Distributing long-distance entanglement is a fundamental goal that is necessary for a variety of tasks such as quantum communication, distributed quantum computing, and quantum metrology. Currently quantum repeater schemes typically aim to distribute one ebit at a time, the equivalent of one Bell pair's worth of entanglement. Here, a scheme is presented to distribute a ...

Although Heidegger’s assertion that “science does not think” at first sight implies that an engagement with his philosophy is untenable for those philosophical frameworks that advocate for scientific rationality as genuinely, rather than illusorily, exploring the world, current philosophy reveals references to Heidegger, including among philosophers whose perspectives on science diverge from his. However, these ...

The article continues the debate about whether classical “pure” metaphysics can explain scientific theories or science can generate its own metaphysical concepts. Two camps have emerged in modern analytic philosophy. The “metaphysician” camp defends the metaphysics of science by arguing that the fundamental concepts of classical metaphysics can be enriched, illustrated, or justified by examples ...
