• 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 ...quote0.732
