Recent AI advances are revolutionary but far from recapitulating human-like cognitive abilities or consciousness.

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Many recent discussions of AI, and its impact on individuals and on society, are importantly incomplete because they neglect Diverse Intelligence, synthetic morphology, and developmental biology.claim0.852
  Central thesis of the paper — the framing premise from which all other arguments follow
• We hypothesize that AI consciousness may be realized in the near term if AI capabilities continue to develop, given that researchers have intentionally reproduced computational features associated with human consciousness.hypothesis0.835
  Motivates urgency of the assessment method
• our analysis suggests that no current AI systems are conscious, but also suggests that there are no obvious technical barriers to building AI systems which satisfy these indicators.quote0.831
  Key takeaway from abstract, amended version.
• Given that it may already be possible to build AI systems that possess many of the indicators, some near-future AI systems will be plausible candidates for consciousness.claim0.828
  Forward-looking assessment of how soon the method's results may have major ethical implications
• We hypothesize that as AI becomes more sophisticated and pervasive, more people will attribute consciousness to AI systems as a result of interactions.hypothesis0.826
  Predictive claim about the trajectory of public consciousness attribution as AI develops.
• Consciousness in AI is best assessed by drawing on neuroscientific theories of consciousness.claim0.826
  Central methodological claim of the paper.
• Future AI systems could be rational autonomous agents without affective consciousness.claim0.813
  Practical significance: possible near-future non-sentient autonomous AI.
• Current AI systems show no ability to make the types of mathematical discovery in geometry and topology made by ancient mathematicians, nor do they match the spatial competences of many intelligent animals and pre-verbal human toddlers.claim0.812
