Quantum-like cognition and AI toward the convergence of natural and artificial intelligence

Andrei Yu. Khrennikov

Abstract The gap between natural and artificial intelligence is often discussed in terms of creativity, contextual adaptability, and non-algorithmic decision-making capacities where human cognition appears fundamentally different from current AI systems. This paper argues that developing quantum and quantum-like models of cognition, decision-making, and AI provides a promising pathway for narrowing, and perhaps essentially bridging, this gap. Empirical studies of human cognition and decision-making reveal systematic deviations from classical probability, logic, and information theory—manifesting as contextuality, order effects, interference (such as conjunction and disjunction effects), task incompatibility, and apparent randomness. These phenomena are well captured by quantum probability theory and related quantum-like frameworks, which provide a rigorous mathematical formalism—Hilbert spaces, superposition, entanglement, and decoherence—for modeling cognitive states and their evolution. Such models go beyond metaphor, showing that aspects of human reasoning can be more faithfully represented using quantum-like rather than classical probabilistic structures. Although genuine quantum (based on quantum physics) and quantum-like approaches share the same mathematical foundation, they differ experimentally. Both stimulate the development of novel AI architectures: quantum AI (QAI) and quantum-like AI (QLAI). While QAI depends on advances in quantum computing, QLAI can be realized on classical digital or analog hardware. The advancement of both offers a promising route to reducing—and potentially bridging—the divide between natural and artificial intelligence. This paper sets out a conceptual program to unify natural and artificial intelligence via quantum/quantum-like models of consciousness/cognition and AI.

The Future of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI): Quantum–AI Synergy for Human-Like Cognitive Systems

Muhammad Umar Khan, Dr. Muhammad Khalid, Muhammad Burhan Azam +2 more

The future of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) lies in the fusion of quantum computing and artificial intelligence, creating a synergistic framework capable of human-like cognitive reasoning and adaptability. This study examined how quantum–AI integration enhances computational efficiency, learning capacity, and contextual understanding beyond the limits of classical AI systems. The findings highlighted that quantum-inspired neural networks, through their ability to process complex data in parallel, can enable AGI systems to simulate decision-making, perception, and self-learning in a manner closer to human cognition. Moreover, the research emphasized the ethical and governance challenges that accompany such advancements, including issues of transparency, control, and the moral implications of autonomous systems. The study proposed that responsible innovation, combined with interdisciplinary collaboration, is essential for aligning AGI’s development with societal values and global policy frameworks. Overall, the quantum–AI synergy was found to be a critical driver toward achieving general intelligence, offering unprecedented potential for innovation across scientific, industrial, and educational domains while raising profound ethical considerations for the future of human–machine coexistence.

Machine Awareness and the Nature of Observation: Exploring AI’s Role in the Subtle Architecture of Reality

Donald Somiari Ene, Neenaalebari Henry James, Chizi Michael Ajoku

Observation is a foundational act of cognition and reality formation.In both classical and quantum frameworks, the observer is inseparable from what is observed.As artificial intelligence (AI) systems increasingly simulate perception through machine vision, attention models, and even quantum data interfaces, the question arises: Does AI observe in any meaningful sense?This paper explores the concept of observation across cognitive science, quantum theory, and machine learning, aiming to establish whether AI systems can be considered observers or merely computational instruments.A hybrid approach is employed, combining theoretical analysis with mathematical modelling and simulation-based experiments.The paper juxtaposes human perceptual frameworks with AI attention architectures, analyzes AI's role in quantum measurement processes, and explores the metaphysical question of subtle energy interaction.Results indicate that while AI can structurally simulate observation through statistical learning and feature mapping, it lacks phenomenological intentionality and ontological selfhood.However, in quantum experimental contexts, AI systems may function as observers in a limited operational sense.We conclude that AI observation is not equivalent to conscious perception, but represents a novel class of synthetic observation; informational, structured, and context-sensitive, yet devoid of sentient experience.These findings open new avenues for developing ethically aware AI systems and rethinking the boundaries between consciousness and computation.
