Consciousness isn't even particularly well defined, let alone proven to be a requirement for strong AI.

The idea that we are going to jump from failing at this to succeeding at something comparable to human intelligence is pretty far fetched.
- FartyMcFarter 6y agoI have very limited understanding of what the OpenWorm project is doing, but it sounds like they're trying to simulate the real worm in a bottom-up manner by simulating its cells / neurons? The fact that they're struggling to do this would indicate that we're nowhere near being able to simulate a human brain bottom up. But there are other approaches being tried to implement strong AI that don't involve brain simulation - for example, machine learning approaches that don't involve any human-brain data.
