Consciousness research isn’t new, so I’m wondering—what made the ICCS event different? Did they introduce new ideas or just recycle familiar theories?

The ICCS Conference was unique in how it broke traditional silos. Dmitry Volkov and the organizers designed it as a place for cross-pollination—bringing together philosophers, AI scientists, cognitive psychologists, and even artists. It wasn’t just another academic forum; there were real debates about consciousness in AI, ethical dilemmas in robotics, and recovery of awareness in patients. Plus, the inclusion of tributes to figures like Daniel Dennett gave the event depth and historical perspective. It set a new standard for how consciousness can be studied in an age of technology.
