Title
7 Artificial Intelligence, Selfhood and Artificial Consciousness
Abstract
This chapter discusses two ways of looking at the topic of artificial intelligence (AI), selfhood and artificial consciousness. The first is to reflect on human-AI interaction focusing on the human users. This includes how humans respond to and interact with AI, as well as potential selfhood-related implications of interacting with AI. The second is to reflect on potential future machine selfhood and its crucial component, artificial consciousness. While artificial consciousness that resembles human consciousness does not yet exist, and the details are difficult if not impossible to anticipate, a reflection on potential future artificial consciousness is clearly needed given its extensive ethical and social implications.
