Global workspace in models (Anthropic)
Anthropic · 2025 · revised 2026-09-19
What the source says
Global-workspace / verbalizable-representation (J-space) research points to features analogous to access consciousness: privileged, reportable content used in reasoning. Eleos commentary treats this as significant evidence on that line — and still access ≠ phenomenal.
Questions it helps us understand
If a model has something like access, what does that ethically authorize? What is still missing before we speak of experience?
Limits and counterpoints
Access consciousness (Block) does not imply phenomenal consciousness. An architectural analogy is not identity of mind.
