Artificial consciousness in AI is a controversial topic in the philosophy of artificial intelligence. This paper aims to address this issue by taking a special relativity approach. Special theory of relativity is the advanced form of classical electrodynamics. Quantum field theory is the integration of quantum mechanics and special theory of relativity. Thus, electromagnetism provides a rich modeling framework to study artificial consciousness. The key ideas are as follows. First, we make the distinction of intelligence and cognition in AI, which are modeled by the electric field and the magnetic field respectively. Second, it introduces the intelligence-cognitive wave, akin to the electromagnetic wave. Third, the artificial consciousness in AI is defined by the intelligence-cognitive wave, as a modification of light is defined as the electromagnetic wave in physics. Hence, the artificial consciousness is modeled by light. A number of properties of consciousness are also discussed.
