Different learning systems facing similar computational problems will converge to similar consciousness-like solutions, including potentially biological and artificial systems

• Human consciousness is tied to a biological learning algorithm — the simplest algorithm discoverable by evolutionary search to train a self-organizing biological substrate to become intelligent.claim0.848
  Core theoretical claim connecting consciousness to biological learning
• 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.hypothesis0.836
  Paper's uncertain extension of mechanistic interpretability universality to consciousness
• 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.hypothesis0.834
  The central hypothesis of the paper
• We hypothesize that consciousness may be at the heart of a universal biological learning algorithm — one that runs on self-organizing groups of communicating cells sharing evolutionary incentives — and that it creates rather than results from organized mental architecture.hypothesis0.831
  The Genesis Hypothesis as explicit predictive conjecture
• All cognitive systems have some degree of consciousness.hypothesis0.831
  Gradualism implies that if brains are conscious, so are other tissues with similar mechanisms.
• If we translate the Universality Hypothesis to the problem of consciousness, would it follow that an artificial system trained to perform the same tasks leading to consciousness formation in a human infant would exhibit consciousness as well?question0.825
  Key open question linking mechanistic interpretability universality to machine consciousness
• If the Universality Hypothesis is correct, an artificial system trained to perform the same tasks that lead to consciousness in a human infant might exhibit consciousness as well.claim0.815
