As a concrete example we focus on digital assistants that learn from continuous dialog with an expert software engineer while providing initial value as powerful analytical, computational and mathematical savants.

> [#Dehaene](/tag/stanislas_dehaene)'s work extends the [#Global Workspace Theory](/tag/global_workspace_theory) of Bernard Baars. Dehaene’s version of the theory combined with Yoshua Bengio’s concept of a [#consciousness prior](/tag/consciousness_prior.html) and deep reinforcement learning suggest a model for constructing and maintaining the cognitive states that arise and persist during complex problem solving.
