> to explore the benefits as well as the challenges raised by artificial intelligence (AI) in light of the enduring truth of human exceptionalism. People know at a fundamental level that they are not machines. But faulty thinking can cause people to assent to views that in their heart of hearts they know to be untrue. The Bradley Center seeks to help individuals—and our society at large—to realize that we are not machines while at the same time helping to put machines (especially computers and AI) in proper perspective.
So they have an incentive to associate the brain with quantum stuff or cosmic spacetime weirdness or any other topic that people pride themselves in not understanding - because they want to present the brain as something otherworldly and mysterious that we could not possibly be able to understand.
Unsurprisingly they are also big fans of panpsychism [3].
Edit: ...not to mention, the Discovery Institute [4] is in there too...
