Title: What we are is more than what we do
Authors: Larissa Albantakis and Giulio Tononi
Abstract summary: Complex behavior becomes meaningless if it is not performed by a conscious being. The dissociation between "being" and "doing" is most salient in artificial general intelligence.

Abstract: If we take the subjective character of consciousness seriously, consciousness becomes a matter of "being" rather than "doing". Because "doing" can be dissociated from "being", functional criteria alone are insufficient to decide whether a system possesses the necessary requirements for being a physical substrate of consciousness. The dissociation between "being" and "doing" is most salient in artificial general intelligence, which may soon replicate any human capacity: computers can perform complex functions (in the limit resembling human behavior) in the absence of consciousness. Complex behavior becomes meaningless if it is not performed by a conscious being.

Why Is Anything Conscious? [0.0]
We provide a mathematical formalism describing how biological systems self-organise to hierarchically interpret unlabelled sensory information. We claim that access consciousness at the human level is impossible without the ability to hierarchically model i) the self, ii) the world/others andiii) the self as modelled by others.

Consciousness defined: requirements for biological and artificial general intelligence [0.0]
Critically, consciousness is the apparatus that provides the ability to make decisions, but it is not defined by the decision itself. requirements for consciousness include: at least some capability for perception, a memory for the storage of such perceptual information. We can objectively determine consciousness in any conceivable agent, such as non-human animals and artificially intelligent systems.

Can a Machine be Conscious? Towards Universal Criteria for Machine Consciousness [0.0]
Many concerns have been voiced about the ramifications of creating an artificial conscious entity. This is compounded by a marked lack of consensus around what constitutes consciousness. We propose five criteria for determining whether a machine is conscious.

Is artificial consciousness achievable? Lessons from the human brain [0.0]
We analyse the question of developing artificial consciousness from an evolutionary perspective. We take the evolution of the human brain and its relation with consciousness as a reference model. We propose to clearly specify what is common and what differs in AI conscious processing from full human conscious experience.

COKE: A Cognitive Knowledge Graph for Machine Theory of Mind [87.14703659509502]
Theory of mind (ToM) refers to humans' ability to understand and infer the desires, beliefs, and intentions of others. COKE is the first cognitive knowledge graph for machine theory of mind.

Sources of Richness and Ineffability for Phenomenally Conscious States [57.8137804587998]
We provide an information theoretic dynamical systems perspective on the richness and ineffability of consciousness. In our framework, the richness of conscious experience corresponds to the amount of information in a conscious state. While our model may not settle all questions relating to the explanatory gap, it makes progress toward a fully physicalist explanation.

On the independence between phenomenal consciousness and computational intelligence [0.0]
We argue in this paper how phenomenal consciousness and, at least, computational intelligence are independent. As phenomenal consciousness and computational intelligence are independent, this fact has critical implications for society.

AGENT: A Benchmark for Core Psychological Reasoning [60.35621718321559]
Intuitive psychology is the ability to reason about hidden mental variables that drive observable actions. Despite recent interest in machine agents that reason about other agents, it is not clear if such agents learn or hold the core psychology principles that drive human reasoning. We present a benchmark consisting of procedurally generated 3D animations, AGENT, structured around four scenarios.

Inductive Biases for Deep Learning of Higher-Level Cognition [108.89281493851358]
A fascinating hypothesis is that human and animal intelligence could be explained by a few principles. This work considers a larger list, focusing on those which concern mostly higher-level and sequential conscious processing. The objective of clarifying these particular principles is that they could potentially help us build AI systems benefiting from humans' abilities.
