Machines are getting smarter. From the conversational stylings of Siri to the increasingly impressive plays of AlphaGo, machine intelligence is getting ever close to approximating human-style intelligences and surpassing them across multiple domains. Yet what is less clear is how consciousness fits into the picture. And without truly understanding the link between consciousness and intelligence, we might not know what we're creating until its too late.
What exactly is consciousness and how do we know machines don't already have it? If our minds are essentially computer programmes, could we upload ourselves to the internet? Who should be in charge of designing artificial minds? How long will it take for Artificial General Intelligence to be produced? And how optimistic should we be about making friends with robots within our lifetimes?
