About

Tobias Rees is a provocative thinker at the intersection of artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and the philosophy of mind. His work challenges the boundaries between objective scientific explanation and subjective human experience, asking whether machines—particularly those powered by quantum processors—could possess genuine freedom or consciousness. In his most cited paper, “Do Robots powered by a Quantum Processor have the Freedom to swerve?” (2021, 2 citations), Rees explores the classic tension between the third-person perspective of science and our first-person experience of the world, using behavioral correlations as a starting point. Though still early in his citation impact, Rees’s contributions are notable for their ambition: he bridges quantum mechanics, AI ethics, and phenomenology, raising foundational questions about agency and determinism in intelligent systems. His work is especially relevant for researchers interested in the philosophical implications of emerging technologies, and he represents a growing voice in the dialogue between technical innovation and humanistic inquiry.
