But aren't they already self-aware? My computer has a better awareness of its own memory than I have of my own. Is it consciousness or humanness that we are talking about here? We could make it extremely self aware but never give it feelings or emotions and it might not care about termination.
- visarga 10y agoIt's only conscious if it can integrate in an effective way its perceptions in order to learn behavior that will maximize its rewards. A computer running a deep learning software could in principle learn to understand its state and the state of the world as it perceives it in its sensory channels. In order to become aware it also needs to be guided by a reward system and needs a world in which to operate. It has to operate like a self-regulating recurrent loop, otherwise even if it can detect stuff, it doesn't matter.
