Is artificial intelligence truly conscious or is it just hype? At Revolution Festival 2024, Daniel Morley applies the Marxist method to cut through the illusions surrounding AI.

By examining the difference between artificial intelligence and human consciousness, the talk explores what makes humans unique and why bourgeois science misunderstands the nature of the mind.
