At least there are efforts to approach the subject of qualia, but *semantics* is the elephant in the room.
*Detecting Qualia in Natural and Artificial Agents* https://arxiv.org/abs/1712.04020 The Hard Problem of consciousness has been dismissed as an illusion. By showing that computers are capable of experiencing, we show that they are at least rudimentarily conscious with potential to eventually reach superconsciousness. The main contribution of the paper is a test for confirming certain subjective experiences in a tested agent. We follow with analysis of benefits and problems with conscious machines and implications of such capability on future of computing, machine rights and artificial intelligence safety. @philipthrift -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
