Erik Hoel is a research assistant professor at Tufts University in the US. In the podcast we discuss the really interesting work he's doing on 'causal emergence,' and how it might help us better understand how the mind works. We go on to talk about theories of consciousness, as well as the speculation and hype around artificial intelligence.
