--- abstract: "Current research on artificial consciousness is focused on\r\nphenomenal consciousness and on functional consciousness.\r\nWe propose to shift the focus to self-consciousness in order\r\nto open new areas of investigation. We use an existing\r\nscenario 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." altloc: - http://crmenant.free.fr/AAAI-2007/FS01MenantCh20070905074007.pdf chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: 8-11 November 2007 conference: '2007 AAAI Fall Symposium.
