Consciously conscious of consciousness
If I am conscious (I reckon I /am/) and your cat /seems/ conscious, then should it be such a leap to say that all sentient beings are conscious? Is consciousness a function of the Human brain? the Primate brain? the Mammillian brain? any Brain? any complex information system?
Kurzweil explains his materialistic view and expectations of machine consciousness in the near future of computing, receives rebuttals from critics and other experts in the field and then responds to those essays.
A fascinating and thought-provoking glimpse into the future of conscious agents.
