Indicators should avoid ambiguous terms and contested concepts, but without prematurely committing to precise specifications that anticipate all uncertainties.

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

• Indicators are merely intended to be credence-shifting; we do not need to be certain that a theory is correct for it to provide useful indicators.claim0.836
  Key epistemic stance of the Bayesian approach to indicators
• Indicator selection must avoid the minimal implementation problem while remaining open to varied forms of consciousness, including exotic AI forms.claim0.797
  Second guideline for deriving indicators; balance between demanding and permissive formulations
• Indicators based on potential background conditions for consciousness should be included to mitigate the narrow focus of theories on distinguishing conscious from unconscious states in humans.claim0.787
  Third guideline for deriving indicators; justifies PP-1 and AE-1/AE-2
• Indicators used to assess AI systems for consciousness should focus on theories' central explanatory posits, abstracting away from implementation details that may differ across systems.claim0.786
  First of four guidelines for deriving indicators; prevents over-restriction to human-specific features
• Applying theories to AI through the indicator method may reveal hidden ambiguities or unintended implications, motivating advocates to clarify their views.claim0.778
  Argues for productive bidirectional interaction between AI research and consciousness science
• Many of the indicator properties can be implemented in AI systems using current techniques.claim0.777
  Feasibility demonstrated in Section 3.1.
• There are no obvious technical barriers to building AI systems which satisfy the indicator properties.claim0.775
  Feasibility claim about near-term conscious AI.
• "It is certainly very hard, and perhaps impossible, for mere humans to anticipate and rule out in advance all the disastrous ways the machine could choose to achieve a specified objective."quote0.769
