I’m not sure we have a proper definition of consciousness, so probably no.

But I suspect we’re five years from being able to create a self-directed simulation of a person that could behave in ways we consider autonomous. That is to say it will be able to fool most people observing from the outside.

I have some ideas on how I’d go about it so I imagine better minds than mine are hard at work on the problem.

I’m not sure we should be building that, but I’m sure we are.
