6. AI and Consciousness
 AC is a philosophical concept
 “Artificial” or machine “consciousness” is the attempt to
model and implement aspects of human cognition that are
identified with the elusive and controversial phenomenon of
consciousness
 Artificial Consciousness also known as machine
consciousness or synthetic consciousness is a field related to
artificial intelligence and cognitive robotics whose aim is to
define that which would have to be synthesized were
consciousness to be found in an engineered
artifact(Alexsander 1995) 7 August 2015
