Can machines ever be conscious?
We will probably never know as we do not know what consciousness is.
It can not be defined scientifically. How will we possibly answer any question involving that?
Intelligent calculations based on what some humans instructed and stored in a machine mimicking living beings are not any more conscious than its predecessors of course. Functionally the same thing. if it is conscious, it was conscious and if it is not, it was not. |

There is an unsubstantiated leap from the first statement to the second. We do not understand consciousness sufficiently to say it’s not real to the point of being immeasurable. Because if it is, for all practical purposes, it doesn’t exist.
