Artificial You: AI and the Future of Your Mind
By Susan Schneider
Summary
Proposes the AI Consciousness Test (ACT): a battery of probes assessing whether an AI has consciousness based on integration, information access, self-model, and global availability. Skeptical that current AI is conscious but argues we should prepare.
Why It Matters
First systematic proposal for *testing* AI consciousness — directly applicable to evaluating LLMs.
