David Chalmers is related to information-processing because he frequently analyzes its role in consciousness, perception, and thinking [1], [2], [3]. He specifically explores whether information-processing can account for qualia [4], [5], [6] and whether it serves as a sufficient condition for machine consciousness [7].

claimDavid Chalmers clarifies that his use of Shannonian information is not an attempt to reduce mental states to information processing, but rather an attempt to identify a potential key to the physical basis of consciousness.
claimDavid Chalmers observes that most researchers currently focus on the 'macroscopic' regularities between information processing and experience, which he considers an appropriate approach.

quoteDehaene stated: "Once our intuitions are educated by cognitive neuroscience and computer simulations, Chalmers' hard problem will evaporate. The hypothetical concept of qualia, pure mental experience, detached from any information-processing role, will be viewed as a peculiar idea of the prescientific era, much like vitalism... [Just as science dispatched vitalism] the science of consciousness will keep eating away at the hard problem of consciousness until it vanishes."

claimDavid Chalmers argues that if qualia, such as the perceived color of objects, were to fade or disappear, the holder of the brain would notice the difference, which would alter the brain's information processing and lead to a contradiction.

claimDavid Chalmers entertains the possibility that machines could be conscious if they instantiate the right kind of information processing, regardless of whether they are biological.
