A leading contemporary theory of consciousness in theoretical neuroscience apparently shares significant common ground with a philosophical system of thought from Antiquity. Although chronologically disparate, the integrated information... more
Este documento intenta determinar si es o no posible la creación de vida artificial, aunque más complejo, también tratará sobre la creación de consciencia artificial y sobre todo, establecerá si existe o no una preocupación por la ética... more
How has multiplicity superseded impossibility in philosophical challenges to artificial consciousness? I assess a trajectory in recent debates on artificial consciousness, in which metaphysical and explanatory challenges to the... more
This paper explores what has been termed artificial consciousness (AC) (a.k.a., synthetic consciousness or artificial sentience). Related to its companion, artificial intelligence (AI), the subject might sound more like science fiction or... more

There is an increasing interest in the ethical design of robots. As evidence of this fact, one may refer to some recent reports and the European Parliament’s resolution on civil law rules on robotics.The latter will be the primary focus... more
In this paper we take a meta-theoretical stance and aim to compare and assess two conceptual frameworks that endeavor to explain phenomenal experience. In particular, we compare Feinberg & Mallatt’s Neurobiological Naturalism (NN) and... more
We used 4 basis for our work: AI - six thinking levels model described in book "The emotion machine". Evolutionary psychology model of emotions that is called "Wheel of emotions", we used as subjective perception model.... more
GIDEON is an artificial consciousness that has the elements of grid computing, human-computer interaction, a distributed computing environment, and an optical network. An artificial consciousness is an emulated autonomic cognitive state... more
