Artificial Consciousness and Biological Naturalism
Biological naturalism holds that consciousness is a biological phenomenon of the brain,dependent on neurophysiological processes,and exists only in living systems.This theory emphasizes the close connection between consciousness and life,but it encounters challenges when addressing the problems of artificial consciousness.Neither metabolism nor predictive processing can explain why artificial consciousness would be impossible.Further analysis shows that biological naturalism's attempt to emphasize the reality of consciousness and advance its naturalization is bound to fail,and thus biological naturalism cannot be used to achieve artificial consciousness.Two alternative approaches have been proposed:panpsychism and illusionism.Panpsychism rejects the derivative assumption and views consciousness as a basic property of the physical world,but it encounters the AGI combination problem or AGI deconstruction problem when explaining artificial consciousness.However,illusionism rejects the assumption of realism and views consciousness as an illusion that can be realized through the simulation of cognitive structures.Illusionism avoids the conflict between the reality of consciousness and naturalization,which makes it the most suitable theory for realizing artificial consciousness.
