| summary | Creatures are phenomenally conscious exactly if there is something it is like to be them. Increasingly, researchers debate whether AI systems might be phenomenally conscious. In this talk, I explore the prospects of finding trustworthy tests for AI consciousness by comparing and contrasting the study of AI consciousness with animal consciousness research. While many tests of animal consciousness cannot be directly transferred to AI systems, I argue that - under the right conditions - the most powerful tests of animal consciousness can also provide evidence of AI consciousness. Centrally, this argument involves a solution to the gaming problem: the challenge that tests of AI consciousness can be "gamed" by designing AI systems specifically to pass certain consciousness tests. |
