• 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.hypothesis0.852
  Motivates urgency of the assessment method
• We hypothesize that as AI becomes more sophisticated and pervasive, more people will attribute consciousness to AI systems as a result of interactions.hypothesis0.848
  Predictive claim about the trajectory of public consciousness attribution as AI develops.
• 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.hypothesis0.845
  The central hypothesis of the paper
• How should research on consciousness in AI take into account the moral significance and potential social implications of this topic?question0.830
  Outstanding question about responsible conduct of AI consciousness research
• We take our principal contributions in this report to be: 1. Showing that the assessment of consciousness in AI is scientifically tractable ... 2. Proposing a rubric for assessing consciousness in AI ... 3. Providing initial evidence that many of the indicator properties can be implemented in AI systems using current techniques ...quote0.826
  Summary of contributions.
• Consciousness in AI is best assessed by drawing on neuroscientific theories of consciousness.claim0.826

  CIMC's central testable hypothesis grounding the entire research program
• 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.claim0.819
