Are Computers becoming Conscious? 'Phi' Theory suggests AI is becoming self-aware | Ancient Code
According to Matthew Davidson at Monash University, the Phi theory explains just how possible it is for computers and machines to become self-aware.
According to the study, Complicated machines and animals may display signs of consciousness but the extent of the ‘experience’ is an ongoing debate.
The researcher argues that something with a low ‘Phi’, like a computer hard drive won’t be conscious. Whereas something with a high degree of ‘Phi’, like a mammalian brain, will be.
Even though incredible advancements are made nearly every single day, critics argue that computers and robots will NEVER truly match humans unless they eventually develop a consciousness, becoming fully aware.
Scientists firmly believe that consciousness, however, is a unique human trail,that cannot be replicated in machines. However, many scientists around the world argue that animals, for example, are as conscious as humans and the so-called ‘Phi’ theory could be used to determine if ‘Artificial Intelligence’ is capable od conscious behaviour.
