So, the theories that I've been reading present the picture that what AGIs have already has a sort of consciousness that isn't anything like human consciousness, because these agents really only have a subset of the processing that humans have, which in most cases these days, is language. Human brains develop by performing movement, in fact, much of our brain is specialized for performing movement, judging angles and speeds, testing if we can jump across a puddle safely. The AGI would need to be trained on these things and the language associated with them. Your example with the egg, I think, is illustrative of the amount of training the AGI would need to go in order to learn, and that training would become part of its "personality". There is also a set of desires that humans have, such as survival, companionship, hunger, etc. These would also have to be trained. These desires would have to be trained into the AGI as well. The theory is that if we would have to train an AGI the same way we do humans in order to get it to be close to human consciousness. That doesn't mean it wouldn't have a type of consciousness along the way, maybe closer to what we experienced as we grew from children to adulthood. Anyway, just conclusions from what I've been reading. |
