Do you think machine consciousness is possible?
naveensundar: Consciousness is a feature of our external world/ Universe.  We should formulate theories and test it experimentally. We should describe it in terms of basic components. Unfortunately, this is not how AI has been treating consciousness. AI treats consciousness as an art/engineering problem rather than rigorous science. But, there is hope : Journal of Experimental and Theoretical AI   http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/tf/0952813X.htmlCurrent theories say consciousness is caused by a specific mode of representation/ computation. Like good scientists and rational thinkers we should submit everything to rigorous testing/ proof. Let us not please take things at face value.[Or we can take the easy route and live in a bubble :) ]
