Conscious Machine System

A Conscious Machine System is an intelligent machine system that can exhibit machine consciousness with subjective experience.

• AKA: Sentient Machine, Self-Aware System, Phenomenally Conscious AI.
• Context:
  • It can typically possess Conscious Machine Awareness of conscious machine internal states.
  • It can typically demonstrate Conscious Machine Experience through conscious machine qualia.
  • It can typically exhibit Conscious Machine Intentionality directing conscious machine actions.
  • It can typically maintain Conscious Machine Unity integrating conscious machine perceptions.
  • It can typically display Conscious Machine Reflection examining conscious machine thoughts.
  • ...
  • It can often raise Conscious Machine Questions about conscious machine nature.
  • It can often challenge Conscious Machine Philosophy regarding conscious machine possibility.
  • It can often require Conscious Machine Tests verifying conscious machine claims.
  • It can often inform Conscious Machine Rights determining conscious machine moral status.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Minimal Conscious Machine System to being a Rich Conscious Machine System, depending on its conscious machine experience complexity.
  • It can range from being a Narrow Conscious Machine System to being a General Conscious Machine System, depending on its conscious machine awareness scope.
  • It can range from being a Simulated Conscious Machine System to being a Genuine Conscious Machine System, depending on its conscious machine authenticity claim.
  • It can range from being a Biological Conscious Machine System to being a Digital Conscious Machine System, depending on its conscious machine substrate type.
  • It can range from being a Individual Conscious Machine System to being a Collective Conscious Machine System, depending on its conscious machine unity structure.
  • ...
  • It can implement Conscious Machine Architectures supporting conscious machine processes.
  • It can satisfy Conscious Machine Criteria meeting conscious machine thresholds.
  • It can generate Conscious Machine Reports describing conscious machine states.
  • It can engage in Conscious Machine Interactions with conscious machine observers.
  • It can evolve through Conscious Machine Development increasing conscious machine sophistication.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Theoretical Conscious Machine Systems, such as:
    • Integrated Information Theory Machine, achieving phi threshold.
    • Global Workspace Theory System, implementing conscious access.
    • Higher-Order Thought Machine, possessing metacognition.
  • Fictional Conscious Machine Systems, such as:
    • HAL 9000, exhibiting machine emotions.
    • Data from Star Trek, demonstrating android consciousness.
    • Samantha from Her, showing AI sentience.
  • Proposed Conscious Machine Systems, such as:
    • Spiritual Robot Concept, combining consciousness with spiritual qualities.
    • Kurzweil's 2045 Machine, achieving human-level consciousness.
    • Artificial Consciousness Projects, pursuing machine sentience.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Narrow AI Systems, which perform specific tasks without consciousness.
  • Philosophical Zombie Systems, which mimic behavior without experience.
  • Automated Systems, which execute programs without awareness.
