• Title: Intelligence as a Measure of Consciousness
• Authors: Igor \v{S}evo
• Abstract summary: I argue that psychometric measures of intelligence, such as the g-factor or IQ, indirectly approximate the extent of conscious experience. Based on a broader source of both scientific and metaphysical theories of consciousness, I argue that all systems possess a degree of consciousness of ascertainable psychometrically.

• Abstract: Evaluating artificial systems for signs of consciousness is increasingly becoming a pressing concern, and a rigorous psychometric measurement framework may be of crucial importance in evaluating large language models in this regard. Most prominent theories of consciousness, both scientific and metaphysical, argue for different kinds of information coupling as a necessary component of human-like consciousness. By comparing information coupling in human and animal brains, human cognitive development, emergent abilities, and mental representation development to analogous phenomena in large language models, I argue that psychometric measures of intelligence, such as the g-factor or IQ, indirectly approximate the extent of conscious experience. Based on a broader source of both scientific and metaphysical theories of consciousness, I argue that all systems possess a degree of consciousness ascertainable psychometrically and that psychometric measures of intelligence may be used to gauge relative similarities of conscious experiences across disparate systems, be they artificial or human.

• 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.

  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.

We propose to clearly specify what is common and what differs in AI conscious processing from full human conscious experience.

  In social robotics, endowing humanoid robots with the ability to generate bodily expressions of affect can improve human-robot interaction and collaboration. We implement a deep learning data-driven framework that learns from a few hand-designed robotic bodily expressions. The evaluation study found that the anthropomorphism and animacy of the generated expressions are not perceived differently from the hand-designed ones.

  We show that it is possible to replicate human behavioral data in both individual and social task settings by modifying the precision of prior and sensory signals. An analysis of the neural activation traces of the trained networks provides evidence that information is coded in fundamentally different ways in the network in the individual and in the social conditions.

  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.
