"For all the promise and dangers of AI, computers plainly can’t think. To think is to resist – something no machine does"
Alva Noë is a Professor of Philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley, and writer whose work centres on the nature of perception and consciousness. His current work focuses on the philosophy of love, AI, and pictoriality.
Noë is the author of books such as The Entanglement: How Art and Philosophy Make Us What We Are, Action in Perception and Out of Our Heads: Why You Are Not Your Brain. Noë's notable works argue that perception is not a process in the brain, but an activity.
"While [Noë's] views are sure to be controversial, most of what he says is true, and all of it original and important to think about." — Hilary Putnam
