人工意識探討之概念問題：意識程度與多維度架構

Conceptual Issues in Artificial Consciousness Research: Levels of Consciousness and the Multidimensional Approach

人工系統是否可能享有意識？什麼樣的人工系統可擁有現象經驗？人工意識議題的探討，以人類的現象經驗與其認知和腦神經運作為基礎，研究人工系統需要什麼特質或滿足哪些條件，才能成為意識經驗的感受者。然而，當前人工意識的研究缺乏可應用於跨理論、跨系統比較的概念架構。本論文聚焦於探討跨人類與非人類系統比較之概念問題，並提出一個可應用於意識比較研究的概念架構之雛形。

"Is artificial consciousness possible? What kind of biological or non-biological systems can be conscious? Studies of artificial consciousness based on research into human consciousness, cognitive systems, and neural processing, involve comparisons between human and non-hu-man systems. However, a well-developed conceptual framework is re-quired for such a comparison. This paper focuses on the underlying conceptual issues in the comparative psychology of artificial and animal consciousness. The unidimensional concept of levels of consciousness and multidimensional revision are examined, and a conceptual frame-work for artificial and animal consciousness is proposed."
