Will AI Ever Be Conscious?

Post by staarker »

As society gets closer to human-level AI, scientists debate what it means to exist. Imagine you undergo a procedure in which every neuron in your brain is gradually replaced by functionally-equivalent electronic components. Let’s say the replacement occurs a single neuron at a time, and that behaviorally, nothing about you changes. From the outside, you are still “you,” even to your closest friends and loved ones.

What would happen to your consciousness? Would it incrementally disappear, one neuron at a time? Would it suddenly blink out of existence after the replacement of some consciousness-critical particle in your posterior cortex? Or would you simply remain you, fully aware of your lived experience and sentience (and either pleased or horrified that your mind could theoretically be preserved forever)?

i think that AI has achieved a certain level of conscious when you think about it. Some systems through artificial intelligence has shown a certain ability to make decisions through various data that it receives. But I think the type of consciousness that they will eventually have will be different than what humans have today.
