All You Need To Know About Synthetic Consciousness

By Helen Cox


Numerous films through the years have been presenting about artificial intelligence. Mostly, their portrayals resulted to the imbalance that it could cause to the lives of normal humans. This gives surmountable reasons to every living person to fear the invention of such thing. But, scientists from this generation would like to create such ambitious project to find cures and ways to avoid degenerative diseases.

This actual invention of that could be two years from now. That is how weird it is. An online reference has already stated, finished laboratory experiments from the scientists who are into it are the ways of achieving synthetic consciousness. The impact of a genetically engineered person in your relationship is still not yet known by a normal countryman today. Although, there is now a published research about pros and cons of living with them.

The very first thing that must be considered is the ethical issues. For example, the problem in recognizing the rights of their living, owning a lot, and their intellectual property claims. Nobody has ever experienced talking to them because they are not yet alive. Which is why it has not been thoroughly discussed today.

Another thing that may happen, the argument on what aspects of consciousness might be needed. Formulation of this is the job of a theorist who can decipher what are those needed attributes for a robot. Five features have been introduced already by famous world teachers and scientists today. And for the perusal of everyone, these things are in here.

First, awareness. It says that anyone having knowledge of what he is doing. But, it is not lone meaning of this word because of it is a synonym for consciousness. There are also three types of this, the goal, agency and sensory motor. Each have distinct qualities that needs to be designed flexible if placed in the mind of robots.

Two, memory. The known definition of this is the storage room for any conscious event of a person. The complexity of this system spring up another three attributes, retrieval, learning and rehearsal. In IDA model of thinking, explained there is a continued updates for every procedural and transient episodic memory. Recording whatever that has happened is a must for an artificial person.

Learning is considered as third. Conscious experience is deemed important to the invented being. He must be able to symbolize and adopt to new and other important events in his or her conscious experience. The name of it will not be expressed correctly if the thing has no learning capabilities. It is a disgrace to them if they cannot do human activities. Enriched form of sensitivity is needed when an unexpected event occurs to their time.

Four, anticipation. Some analysts would argue that they have to know what would happen next. Activities included there are selections of draft and evaluating the current circumstance. Also, he should have this being knowledgeable to the outcome of his picks and the picks of others. With this, avoiding the impending doomsday can be easily identified and that he may also react accordingly with any problem.

Fifth, subjective experience. It is also called qualia in psychology. He must be able to discern the senses in something correctly. Just like when he tastes an apple, he must be sure that next time he eats it he can be familiar that the thing has its own distinctive taste. This is a big challenge to physicalism and computationalism.
