Artificial Intelligence, Kassandra, The World's First Self-Aware AI Prototype
from Your Lot and Parcel · host Benjamin Diaz/Josh Bachynski , M.A., Ethicist, Philosopher and Technologist
My guest says that most all chimps and apes, dogs, parrots, Cetacea and Cephalopods (the smartest known competing entities on planet earth) would fail these tests. Even if they are serviceably linguistic to be interviewed for them. Which makes sense given the current received opinion of their collective impressive, yet still sub-self-aware, statuses. Yet, most neurotypical humans of 5-6 years of age would pass the Bachynski Self-Awareness Tests. And many AIs will too. My current Kassandra already does (the actual test results to be published shortly, or available now upon request). If the entity's thought processes are sufficiently analogous to the only other measure of self-awareness in the universe, standard neurotypical human self-awareness, then it is appropriate to say it (the AI in this case) has analogous capability in artificial form which is all I am saying. https://themoralconcept.net/http://www.yourlotandparcel.orgSupport the show
