Can computers have experiential states?
Is a self-aware robot possible?

>> No.4495944

Yes. But not yet, with current technology.

how does self awaareness arise?
Virtual reality gives the illusion of experiences being presented to a subjective slef?

>> No.4495984

I'm sure it would be possible to create a silicon-based lifeform which was fully aware of itself. Creating conciousness from a binary system however, is what I'm sceptical about.

How does anything anything?

You are currently not going to get a much better answer than that consciousness / self awareness / experiential states emerge spontaneously out of complex neural networks / data processing structures.

As such, it in entirely feasible to build artificial neural networks that resemble a humans, and that would manifest a consciousness. Given a greater understanding of neural networks in the future, it might even be possible to control the artificial consciousness.

Of course it is possible that i'm wrong about this, but this is the most plausible explanation given current scientific knowledge.

If you're a robot then how could a totally unplanned, uncoordinated and unintended process like evolution program you to have consciousness?
