Noema is an award-winning magazine publishing longform journalism exploring fresh ideas. From artificial intelligence and the climate crisis to the future of democracy and capitalism, Noema Magazine seeks a deeper understanding of today’s most pressing challenges and possible solutions.
In ancient Greek, noēma means “thinking” or the “object of thought.” And that is our intention: to delve deeply into the critical issues transforming the world today, at length and with historical context, to illuminate new pathways of thought in a way not possible through the immediacy of daily media.
Published online and in print by the Berggruen Institute, Noema grew out of a previous publication called The WorldPost, which was first a partnership with HuffPost and later with The Washington Post. While committed to using journalism to help build a more sustainable and equitable world, we do not promote any particular set of national, economic or partisan interests.
Anil Seth, Professor of Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience at the University of Sussex, accepts the 2025 Berggruen Prize Essay Competition award for his winning essay, "The Mythology of Conscious AI."
Recorded live at SXSW 2025. Seth's essay challenges a popular assumption of our AI moment — that consciousness naturally follows sophisticated computation — and makes the case for the conditions of life, not information processing, that gives rise to felt experience.
