Panpsychism

Panpsychism is a philosophical theory that suggests consciousness or mental properties are fundamental and ubiquitous in the natural world, present in all matter and energy to some degree. As researchers explore the frontiers of artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and quantum mechanics, panpsychism has gained relevance in the tech community, influencing discussions around the nature of consciousness, the ethics of AI development, and our understanding of the human experience, making it a topic of increasing interest and debate among scientists, philosophers, and technologists alike.
