Title
Non-ordinary Consciousness for Artificial Intelligence
Abstract
Humans are active agents in the design of artificial intelligence (AI), and our input into its development is critical. A case is made for recognizing the importance of including non-ordinary functional capacities of human consciousness in the development of synthetic life, in order for the latter to capture a wider range in the spectrum of neurobiological capabilities. These capacities can be revealed by studying self-cultivation practices designed by humans since prehistoric times for developing non-ordinary functionalities of consciousness. A neurophenomenological praxis is proposed as a model for self-cultivation by an agent in an entropic world. It is proposed that this approach will promote a more complete self-understanding in humans and enable a more thoroughly mutually-beneficial relationship between in life in vivo and in silico.
