PRISM, the first non-profit organization focused on researching sentient AI, launched on March 17, 2025. It aims to explore the potential for machines to achieve consciousness and foster collaboration among researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders. The organization addresses ethical and regulatory questions surrounding AI consciousness.
Sentient machines are defined by self-awareness, emotional understanding, and autonomous reasoning. PRISM is investigating how advanced AI technologies like deep reinforcement learning and large language models could lead to machines that simulate consciousness. The organization emphasizes the importance of ethical guidelines and safety measures in AI development.
