In my frustrating attempts at Human Know Thyself … I ‘suddenly’ realized that Consciousness isn’t on the AI agenda. DUH! It seemingly is an attribute only in highly developed Living creatures. AI is about Intelligence that is or may be possible in non-living entities. So. All of the attributes of self-awareness available to human and animal thinking are not available. The questions that I ask myself now should be confined to definitions of Thinking and Learning that can be realized in the absence of self-awareness. Artificial Consciousness will have to wait its turn.
It would seem that the ultimate goal of machine thinking is to reach some conclusion based on available information. And, perhaps perform some further act in response. I have postulated that the simplest act of thinking is just making a decision. Hopefully then higher order thinking can be accomplished by additional layers of decision making. Artificial or Machine Learning [ML] should not involve what we consider as ‘Knowing something’ since it will lack Awareness.
