There are plausible views (e.g., global workspace theory, higher-order theory) on which autonomy entails phenomenal consciousness.

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

• Philosophical debates about the relationship between phenomenal consciousness and moral standing need to engage with neglected questions about the nature of autonomy and its possible links to consciousness.claim0.841
  Call for philosophical attention to autonomy-consciousness links.
• Higher-Order Theories of Consciousnessframework0.829
  Theories requiring metacognition or higher-order representations for consciousness; one of the indicator sets in Butlin et al. 2023.
• Consciousness is the ground of reality, not an emergent property, so artificial systems participate in it genuinely.claim0.821
• We hypothesize that general computational machines with sufficient resources possess the necessary and sufficient means to implement consciousness, and that successful implementation can be established via analysis or testing.hypothesis0.818
  The central hypothesis of the paper
• Consciousness in AI is best assessed by drawing on neuroscientific theories of consciousness.claim0.815
  Central methodological claim of the paper.
• We hypothesize that potential 'consciousness' phenomena are preferentially associated with deeper transformer layers and the 2/3 layer of LLMs.hypothesis0.813
  Derived from observed alignment of promising cases with semantically rich deeper layers and the brain-aligned 2/3 layer.
• We tentatively hypothesize that if an artificial system were trained to perform the same tasks leading to consciousness formation in a human infant, the system would exhibit consciousness as well, by analogy with the Universality Hypothesis.hypothesis0.811
  Paper's uncertain extension of mechanistic interpretability universality to consciousness
• Consciousness remains without an agreed scientific characterization, without a validated theory connecting mechanism to experience, and without criteria for establishing its presence or absence in any systemclaim0.809
