摘要
Despite remarkable advances, today's AI systems remain narrow in scope, falling short of the adaptive and continual intelligence that characterizes human capabilities. This gap has fueled longstanding debates about whether AI might one day achieve human-like generality or even consciousness. Flipping the debate, we present a concrete blueprint for a multi-agent AI system inspired by a formal machine model of consciousness called the Conscious Turing Machine (CTM). Together, CTM-AI contains a large collection of powerful processors ranging from specialized experts (e.g., language models, multimodal models, tools, and APIs) to unspecialized general-purpose learners poised to develop their own expertise. Crucially, for whatever problem must be dealt with, information from many processors is competitively selected, integrated, and exchanged appropriately to solve the task. Feedback mechanisms in CTM-AI enable the system to iteratively evolve its internal connections and communication. CTM-AI achieves state-of-the-art accuracy on MUStARD (72.28) and UR-FUNNY (72.13), outperforming multimodal and multi-agent frameworks. On tool-using and agentic tasks, CTM-AI achieves 10+ points of improvement on StableToolBench and WebArena-Lite. Overall, CTM-AI offers a principled and testable multi-agent AI system inspired by a model of consciousness. The code is available at https://github.com/consciousness-lab/ctm-ai.
