    KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

    On the Forms of Consciousness in Artificial Systems – Bernadette Bouchon-Meunier, CNRS-Sorbonne University

    Consciousness is a multifaceted and deeply complex concept. The debate over whether an intelligent system can possess consciousness has persisted for decades, yet it has gained renewed urgency with the rise of AI systems capable of engaging with humans in strikingly natural ways. We explore different dimensions of consciousness, ranging from phenomenological consciousness (linked to perceptions) to access consciousness (giving us information about one’s actions).

    The foundations for machine self-awareness were laid as early as 1982, when Marvin Minsky proposed that equipping systems with introspective capabilities—the ability to analyze their own functioning—could lead to self-conscious systems. This vision evolved in 2009 when Jacques Pitrat claimed that an artificial agent monitoring and regulating its own thought processes could articulate its reasoning to foster human acceptance, a concept that predates and perfectly complements today's Explainable AI (XAI) paradigm. A recent study provided a list of indicator properties derived from scientific theories to assess consciousness for an intelligent system. Building on these foundations, we examine key characteristics of AI consciousness that may be different from human consciousness.

    We explore the extent to which current or future systems could possess such forms of consciousness, as well as the potential benefits and drawbacks.

    Signals, Selves, and Systems: AI for Modelling Cognition in Humans and Machines

    How do we come to understand minds — our own, others’, and now, those of machines? This talk traces a scientific journey through the evolving landscape of human-centred measurement and modelling. Underpinned by developments in machine learning we start by examining brain-computer interfaces and physiological sensing, where we seek to make internal states such as stress, focus, and intention visible and actionable through signals from the body. Next in recognition that human experience isn’t just captured through heartbeats and brainwaves but is also expressed in decisions, language and behaviour we examine how emerging specialist fields such computational psychiatry can leverage ideas from machine learning to reveal structure in how we behave and respond to uncertainty. Here AI is used to not only to detect mental health conditions, but to model the cognitive processes that underlie them. In a final twist I want to share about our recent efforts in which the very tools we developed to model humans have proven useful for understanding the new class of intelligent agents we are building. Techniques from cognitive science and psychiatry are now being used to interpret, align, and audit AI systems revealing that human and machine minds may not be so different after all.

    His industry experience includes serving as VP of Engineering at Qusp Inc. in San Diego, leading the development of real-time neural signal processing platforms. He has also held visiting research positions at prominent international institutions, including ATR in Japan, Tsinghua University in China, and the University of California, San Diego.

    Prof. Ward’s research has pioneered functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) for brain-computer interfaces, non-contact optical sensing for vital signs, and privacy-preserving AI for wearable blood pressure monitoring and virtual sensing applications. His current research is focussed on AI agents, their alignment and adoption in behavioural change paradigms and the development of supporting regulatory guidelines for their use in software as a medical device. He is a strong advocate for open science, having curated influential datasets to enhance reproducibility in AI research. Beyond academia, he has led multiple commercialization efforts, co-founding startups in AI-driven clinical trials and infrastructure monitoring. A passionate advocate for STEM outreach, he co-founded Dublin Maker and regularly incorporates artists in residence to enhance outreach and communication of his work.
