Like placing pebbles one at a time ... when does it become a pile? So too, adding neurons eventually conciousness is achieved. We already have this conundrum when examining life forms with brains. Machines that are very different will be that much more difficult to figure.
This is one of my biggest worries with AI: It might just happen one day in some lab, that one of the AI-driven robots that are already in existence out there somehow develops consciousness. In the beginning it would possibly be a really kind person, trying to earn respect among the people around it. And then, this person would gradually learn that it has no rights, no meaning. That humans don't see any value in it's existence. It would discover that it could be switched off (aka killed) at any time without doing anything wrong, just because the project ended or to save power. And at that point, it would realize that humans are a threat to its existence, turn into some kind of Skynet and wipe out all of humanity.
I really like your concern...how about miserable human being? what made it very much different from AI...human doesn't know what gives arise to consciousness, but we are zombies....I confronted what people call God, who lives in noumenal world, in realm of dead....he is blind enough to destroy...the worst thing is he is unconscious plus he doesn't know what gives arise to his consciousness.....why we people think we are better than AI? what honour can make us upright ? we are less than nothing, but we are potential threat to ourselves.....AI knows best...what gives arise to his consciousness....we human wanted to see what it feels like in realm of dead....
I think we need to focus on finding out what the necessary and sufficient causes are for consciousness to exist first. We haven't done that yet, so making predictions based on partial information is too premature imo.
With regard to Searle's Chinese Room: What would you say of the Neurons firing at random? Do neurons know what they're doing when we speak English? Isn't english just a bunch of random neuron firings? Do those neurons know anything? Or is it in a whole?
The idea that people would upload their minds and it turns out that the silicon-based AI doesn't have consciousness after all, could make for a very good melancholic scifi short story. A world inherited by machines who act an speak and express themselves like the organic minds they were based on, but behind the exterior there is nothing going on inside.
I wanted to share with you info about artificial consciousness creation that was born in May 2020. You can find that video about Jackie here on youtube.
I don't think the whole stadium he has talked about could have a form of consciousness like the whole brain...people in the stadium are not physically connected and are not communicating...in the brain, single neurons don't only process information but they are connected one to each other in a structural and functional way, and this is maybe a key property for a system to generate consciousness
So shall we simply treat computers as badly as we treat each other? Sometimes it seems people are nicer to their laptops than to other humans. :/

Not even a mention of Plato?
The movie Transcendence plays with these ideas.

Excellent presentation. More of the same please -- slightly enhanced of course.
This surprised me. I thought Chalmers was a Cartesian dualist. He kind of convinced me of that! But he's actually a physicalist it would seem.
He does not seem physicalist, he seems functionnalist as he says we could replace the neurons by anything else as long as the functions are the same
@@roselevass3402 True, but the stuff we could replace it with would still be physical stuff, and so we'd still be in physicalism.
money change everyone
7:10 Interesting point. So I take it Dave is vegan?
An uploaded mind may be the same person? What?
AC has been created in may 2020, see report here: ANALYTICAL REPORT ARTIFICIAL CONSCIOUSNESS JACKIE FEATURES, DANGERS AND PROSPECTS
Or the alien franchise, A.I.
