Artificial Consciousness is the study of how to design a conscious machine
Proponents of Artificial Consciousness (AC) believe it is possible to emulate/simulate consciousness in a machine, probably some form of computer. However, there is no general agreement on how this will be done.
There are two main schools of thought in Artificial Consciousness
- Phenomenal Consciousness: Which assumes that simulation of neural structures is the key
- Functional Consciousness: Which assumes that we can simulate functions found by psychology
These schools tend to suggest mutually exclusive tests
