摘要

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) in recent decades has sparked intense discussions about the nature of human thought. As early as a seminal contribution, McCarthy and Hayes (1969, p. 46) laid the foundation for today’s prominent debate on whether and to what extent mental processes can be replicated by formal algorithms. In this context, the provocative thesis is repeatedly raised that human consciousness could ultimately be understood as a highly complex biological algorithm.
