Scientists race to unlock the mystery of consciousness as AI surges ahead

As artificial intelligence (AI) and brain technologies develop at a breathtaking speed, scientists are warning that one of the oldest and most important questions in science remains unanswered: what is consciousness? A new review published in Frontiers in Science argues that understanding consciousness is now an urgent scientific and ethical priority, with benefits for a wide range of fields, including medicine, law, and animal welfare. Why cons…

Consciousness debate intensifies as scientists urge clarity while AI and robotics advance

Paris, France (SPX) Oct 31, 2025 Scientists warn that as artificial intelligence and neurotechnology accelerate in development, the need to understand consciousness has now become a scientific and ethical priority. In a major review published in Frontiers in Science, researchers argue that advances in these fields are outpacing our grasp of consciousness, which could have profound consequences on AI deployment, robotics, law, m
