Just because the shrimp can see the rock and climb around, does it mean it's just a sensory reflex or it has a deeper consciousness?

I don't know.

So just because machines have eyes, does it develop consciousness?

I don't know.

It's a topic we can talk about, but I just want to make sure

that we are at least on the same page, that just seeing itself doesn't mean it has consciousness.

But the kind of visual intelligence we have, like I just described, to understand, to create, to build, to represent a world with such visual complexity, at least in humans, it does take consciousness.

Yeah, so again, I think a lot of computer vision is biologically inspired, and it's inspiring in at least two areas.

One is the algorithm itself, so the whole neural network algorithm.

In fact, back in the 1950s and 60s, the computer scientists were inspired by vision neuroscientists.

When they were studying cat mammalian cells,

visual system, they discover the kind of hierarchical neurons.
