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
