Does AI have consciousness: what scientists have found out

 For a long time, the question of the consciousness of artificial intelligence remained a mystery for scientists, philosophers and technologists. The researchers’ report, published on the preprint server arXiv, presents some key indicators that can be used to determine whether software is conscious.

One of the fundamental questions facing scientists is: “Is artificial intelligence capable of consciousness?” There is no single theory about consciousness, which makes this research all the more challenging and fascinating.

The team of researchers considered various approaches and hypotheses in an attempt to find indicators of consciousness in AI. They focused on global workspace theory, which integrates the ability to think and perform tasks in parallel.

Along with this, they examined indicators from higher order theory, including mindfulness and predictive processing.

In their report, the team concluded that currently none of the existing artificial intelligence systems are conscious. However, they emphasized that the lack of consciousness in current AI does not mean there are technical limitations to creating similar systems that can meet these metrics....<<<Read More>>>...
