What Would It Mean for AI to Become Conscious

⚉ Experts from academia and industry discussed "How AI Will Design The Human Future" at South By Southwest. Ray Kurzweil claimed that "by 2029, machines would have moral intelligence and be convincing as humans"

Most of the recent features of AI involve machine learning, using statistics to find patterns in large datasets. "We 're starting to pair our brains with computers, but brains don't understand brains from computers and computers," said one expert. "This has long been the stuff of science fiction, but now there's meaningful research going on in this field"

Advances in technology have made it possible to transfer signals from the brain to prosthetic limbs. But does that also mean they would be conscious? What does it take to achieve general intelligence at the human level? We will need another concept of how consciousness is measured, according to Berlin. She defined three stages of consciousness: mere subjective experience, knowledge of one's own subjective experience and knowledge of subjective experience. She says we have a sense of self that gives us another depth to that experience, but for pure sensation, it is not necessary.
As machine intelligence keeps advancing, we will need to carefully walk the line between progress and risk management. Improving the transparency and explanation of AI systems is one of the key goals that AI developers and researchers are working towards. We shouldn't progress, particularly in systems that may mean the difference between life and death, without humans being able to track how they make choices and draw judgments, Stone says. "We need to make sure there is transparency," Stone says, especially in medicine.

This brings us back to the fact that we are working towards an end in building tech modeled on the human brain. "We shouldn't charge ahead, just because we can do things,"
