Artificial intelligence

Abstract: The paper proposes a new interdisciplinary approach to the study of the nature of consciousness and intelligence. The hypothesis of the existence of a fundamental quantum field of consciousness as a special form of physical reality capable of interacting with living neural structures using resonant mechanisms is put forward. Human intelligence is considered as a functional manifestation of consciousness, which ensures the formation of knowledge, comprehension of experience and decision-making. The possible role of neural nanostructures in the implementation of coherent processes associated with the formation of conscious experience is analyzed. A conceptual and mathematical basis is proposed for further research into the problem of consciousness and the prospects for creating conscious artificial intelligence.
