BCS Exam AIF Topic 3 Question 18 Discussion

Professor David Chalmers described consciousness as having two questions: 'What is it like to be conscious?' and 'Can machines be conscious?'. The first question, 'What is it like to be conscious?', is an attempt to understand what it is like to experience the subjective aspects of consciousness, such as feeling, emotion, and perception. The second question, 'Can machines be conscious?', is an attempt to understand whether or not machines can have the same kinds of subjective experiences as humans.
