Title
Consciousness in AI: A Return to Fetishism or Technological Progress?
Abstract
Patrick Butlin and Robert Long have recently proposed to analyze the possibility of conscious AI, granting computational functionalism plausibility (Butlin et al. 2023). To this end, they derived a series of properties from various theories compatible with functionalism and applied them to several LLMs. The authors concluded that no current AI system can be considered truly conscious, but they remain open to such a possibility.
