Machine Learning meets Artificial Consciousness - Bengio talks

Hi dear Tiddlers!

I really hope you are all good and safe during this pandemics.. and you all have a good connection to a bunch of powerful GPUs to pass this long quarantine until the next deepBeer!

I'd like to know what you guys think about a web-talk Bengio recently gave at the Neuromatch conference* (live from his place office..). It was very interesting, and about his (new?) line of research in Artificial Consciousness.

I'd be very curious to know what do you think about it overall?
For example, do you think he is too vague in his system1 - system2 starting point (from 'thinking fast and slow' - Daniel Kahneman book), or do you think it's a reasonable approach from a ML point of view?
What do you think of the inductive biases for system2 he talks about?

I just dropped some questions on top of my head, but I'd be very curious what you guys think about it overall, whether you have any different insights or ideas about it at all.

Looking forward to hear your opinion on that!

Cheers,
Andrea

*you may need to register (for free) to access the conference. Otherwise he gave a very similar talk at NeurIPS19, just longer : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3sxeTgT4qc&t=296s
