- Title: Conscious AI
- Authors: Hadi Esmaeilzadeh and Reza Vaezi
- Abstract summary: Recent advances in artificial intelligence have achieved human-scale speed and accuracy for classification tasks.
Current systems do not need to be conscious to recognize patterns and classify them.
For AI to progress to more complicated tasks requiring intuition and empathy, it must develop capabilities such as metathinking, creativity, and empathy akin to human self-awareness or consciousness.

- Abstract: Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have achieved human-scale
speed and accuracy for classification tasks. In turn, these capabilities have
made AI a viable replacement for many human activities that at their core
involve classification, such as basic mechanical and analytical tasks in
low-level service jobs. Current systems do not need to be conscious to
recognize patterns and classify them. However, for AI to progress to more
complicated tasks requiring intuition and empathy, it must develop capabilities
such as metathinking, creativity, and empathy akin to human self-awareness or
consciousness. We contend that such a paradigm shift is possible only through a
fundamental shift in the state of artificial intelligence toward consciousness,
a shift similar to what took place for humans through the process of natural
selection and evolution. As such, this paper aims to theoretically explore the
requirements for the emergence of consciousness in AI. It also provides a
principled understanding of how conscious AI can be detected and how it might
be manifested in contrast to the dominant paradigm that seeks to ultimately
create machines that are linguistically indistinguishable from humans.

We argue that shortcomings stem from one overarching failure: AI systems lack wisdom.
While AI research has focused on task-level strategies, metacognition is underdeveloped in AI systems.
We propose that integrating metacognitive capabilities into AI systems is crucial for enhancing their robustness, explainability, cooperation, and safety.

Artificial Intelligence [67.70415658080121]
Recent advances in machine learning and AI are disrupting technological innovation, product development, and society as a whole.
AI has contributed less to fundamental science in part because large data sets of high-quality data for scientific practice and model discovery are more difficult to access.
Here we explore and investigate aspects of an AI-driven, automated, closed-loop approach to scientific discovery.
