• our analysis suggests that no current AI systems are conscious, but also suggests that there are no obvious technical barriers to building AI systems which satisfy these indicators.quote0.819
  Key takeaway from abstract, amended version.
• Future AI systems could be rational autonomous agents without affective consciousness.claim0.815
  Practical significance: possible near-future non-sentient autonomous AI.
• AI systems need to be able to deal with reality as it actually is, not with the way that we think it is.claim0.810

• What would it take for AI systems to be capable of having valenced conscious experiences?question0.804
  Open question from Box 4.
• No current AI systems are conscious.claim0.803
