How optical illusions can show if AI is conscious | Roman Yampolskiy
Roman Yampolskiy discusses how AI could help us hack out of the simulation.
Can we ever know if we're living in a simulation?

From Descartes to The Matrix, the idea that reality might be a simulation has long fascinated and terrified humanity. Elon Musk recently argued that the simulation hypothesis is most likely true. But if that's the case, might there be a way to escape back to the real world? Join leading computer scientist Roman Yampolskiy as he argues that if we are living in a simulation, we can also hack our way out of it.
