A brief overview of the possible spontaneous emergence of AI phenomena

Key Points

• This research aims to explore how complexity in information systems may lead to the spontaneous emergence of cognitive abilities or consciousness.
• Review of existing theories and hypotheses on emergent behavior.
• Analysis of interconnections within information systems.
• Discussion of cognitive and conscious phenomena in AI contexts.
• Increased complexity often correlates with emergent behavior in systems.
• Cognitive abilities may arise spontaneously as interconnections grow.
• Theories suggest potential pathways for consciousness in advanced AI.
