title: Proposal for an Approach to Artificial Consciousness Based on Self-Consciousness creator: Menant, Mr C. subject: Philosophy of Mind subject: Artificial Intelligence description: Current research on artificial consciousness is focused on phenomenal consciousness and on functional consciousness. We propose to shift the focus to self-consciousness in order to open new areas of investigation. We use an existing scenario where self-consciousness is considered as the result of an evolution of representations. Application of the scenario to the possible build up of a conscious robot also introduces questions relative to emotions in robots. Areas of investigation are proposed as a continuation of this approach. publisher: AAAI Press, Menlo Park, California date: 2007-11 type: Conference Paper type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: http://cogprints.org/6013/1/FS01MenantCh20070905074007.pdf identifier: Menant, Mr C.
