Top AI Labs Expand Research Into Machine “Consciousness”

Top AI labs expand research into machine ‘consciousness’

Google DeepMind, Anthropic, and Meta are studying whether AI can become conscious and the human implications, but the post does not disclose methods, timelines, or evaluation criteria.

Why it matters: HKR-H and HKR-R pass because top labs studying machine consciousness is a live safety debate. HKR-K fails: the body names labs but gives no method, timeline, or criterion, so this stays at the 72 featured floor.
