Determining if an AI Agent is Conscious - Methods and Mechanisms

Watch a thought-provoking conference talk from the Models of Consciousness Conferences exploring the challenge of determining AI consciousness. Delve into the complex question of whether large language models like ChatGPT possess consciousness or sentience. Learn about a proposed formal mechanism that addresses the potential deceptiveness of AI agents when reporting their own consciousness, while mathematically proving that this mechanism won't interfere with the agent's functionality or consciousness acquisition. Examine how this solution could provide a reliable way to verify AI consciousness while maintaining the agent's core capabilities and development potential during this 22-minute presentation.
