title: Is consciousness necessary to high-level control systems? creator: Tirassa, Maurizio subject: Animal Cognition subject: Psycoloquy subject: Cognitive Psychology subject: Philosophy of Mind subject: Artificial Intelligence description: Building on Bringsjord's (1992, 1994) and Searle's (1992) work, I take it for granted that computational systems cannot be conscious. In order to discuss the possibility that they might be able to pass refined versions of the Turing Test, I consider three possible relationships between consciousness and control systems in human-level adaptive agents. date: 1994 type: Journal (On-line/Unpaginated) type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: http://cogprints.org/3557/1/1994-Consciousness.pdf identifier: Tirassa, Maurizio (1994) Is consciousness necessary to high-level control systems?
