Does Generative Artificial Intelligence Have Consciousness?—Exploration Based on the Philosophy of Neuroscience
Whether or not artificial intelligence has consciousness is a core of debate in philosophy and scientific research,and the rapid iteration of generative artificial intelligence(GAI)has made it the more heated topic.As an important component of consciousness research,the philosophy of neuroscience has gained significant results in both theoretical and methodological dimensions in recent years.It is a good foundation and a necessary path for the examination of the state of consciousness in GAI.Such examination can be carried out from the following aspects.First,neuroscientific strategies based on computational functionalism is adopted to argue for the realizability of consciousness on intelligent systems other than humans,drawing on neuroscientific results and theory-heavy approaches to consciousness to show the scientific processability of consciousness assessment.Second,specific criteria and operational means for GAI consciousness determination is provided by analyzing the current mainstream neuroscience theories of consciousness,identifying indicator properties,and examining existing measures of consciousness,including both subjective and objective types.Finally,the temporo-spatial theory of consciousness(TTC)in the philosophy of neuroscience is used as an example to develop an explanation of why GAI is not conscious and to point out its possible pathways to consciousness.
