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.

• No current AI systems are conscious.claim0.918
  Overall assessment of current state; qualified by possibility.
• There are no obvious technical barriers to building AI systems which satisfy the indicator properties.claim0.874
  Feasibility claim about near-term conscious AI.
• AI systems which possess more of the indicator properties are more likely to be conscious.claim0.873
  Graded claim about the rubric.
• If it is possible at all to build conscious AI systems without radically new hardware, it may well be possible now.quote0.869
  Striking claim about feasibility.
• Will some AI systems be conscious in the near future?question0.861
  Key empirical question for the consciousness route.
• Satisfying the indicators would not mean that an AI system would definitely be conscious.claim0.860
  Caveat that indicators are not conclusive proof.
• Future AI systems could be rational autonomous agents without affective consciousness.claim0.855
  Practical significance: possible near-future non-sentient autonomous AI.
• There is a realistic possibility that some AI systems will be conscious and/or robustly agentic, and thus morally significant, in the near future.claim0.853
  Central thesis of the report.
