CHAPTER

Exploring Machine Consciousness

This chapter examines the contentious issue of machine consciousness, debating whether machines can truly be conscious or if their behavior might lead society to perceive them as such. It highlights philosophical and ethical challenges, including the potential moral responsibilities human beings hold towards conscious machines and the implications of attributing suffering and rights to them. The discussion also blends insights about AI’s emotional parallels and the current limitations of understanding consciousness in both humans and machines.
