“We may never be able to satisfyingly test A.I’s consciousness because of this, however through our own consciousness, we may create our own ways of speculating and hypothesising the potential of consciousness for A.I and establish an effective way of identifying and handling such a scenario for when it may happen.”

 “Ultimately, though reductionism may be considered by some as arbitrary or as an irrelevant form of philosophy in the minds and bodies debate, it is still an important viewpoint in contemporary discussions on the philosophy of the mind because it is reductionist.”

“As no matter how many behaviours AI exhibits that we can link to what we believe consciousness is, it is unverifiable as to if they are, or ever will be, ‘strong AI’. In the sense that they can only mimic what we experience as ‘consciousness’, from the first person perspective.”
