Computational Approaches to Conscious Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has seen rapid advancements in recent years, particularly in the areas of deep learning and the ability to generalize from concrete objects to abstract concepts. Meanwhile, in the study of machine consciousness, a universally agreed definition among scientists and philosophers is still lacking.This book raises a number of issues surrounding the nature and implications of conscious artificial intelligence: This edited volume consists of 10 chapters that highlight the prospects of machine consciousness and study the subject from several perspectives. The issues are wide-ranging and include topics such as the metaverse, a computational approach to pain and suffering, universal cognitive intelligence, intentional action, the categorization of conscious machines, and more. The volume is designed as a reference guide for researchers, practitioners, and students interested in the intersection of AI and consciousness

人工智慧（AI）近年來在深度學習和從具體物體到抽象概念的泛化能力等領域取得了快速進展。與此同時，在機器意識的研究中，科學家和哲學家之間仍缺乏普遍認可的定義。本書提出了一系列關於意識人工智慧的性質和影響的問題：這本編輯過的書籍由10章組成，突出了機器意識的前景，並從多個角度研究了這一主題。這些問題涉及範圍廣泛，包括元宇宙、對痛苦和苦難的計算方法、普遍認知智能、有意行動、有意識機器的分類等等。本書旨在成為對人工智慧和意識交叉領域感興趣的研究人員、從業人員和學生的參考指南。
