The robot soon became self-aware. Experts: first have subconscious
This article is brought to you by NetEase Smart Studio (public account: smartman163). Stay tuned for the future of AI and the next big technological revolution. On November 1st, NetEase Smart News reported that while we are still far from creating conscious machines, recent advances in neuroscience are shedding light on how machines might one day develop a form of awareness. A groundbreaking study published in *Science* by three neuroscientists, led by Stanislas Dehaene from the French Academy of Sciences, explores the concept of consciousness and its potential replication in artificial systems. The researchers classify consciousness into three distinct levels. The first, known as subconscious processing, is already well understood and closely mirrors the functions of modern AI systems. For example, facial recognition algorithms used by DeepMind or Face++ operate at this level—processing information without explicit awareness, much like the brain’s automatic functions. The second level involves a higher form of awareness, where the brain integrates various thoughts and makes them accessible to other parts of the brain. This enables complex planning and decision-making. The third level is even more advanced: it includes self-reflection and the ability to assess one’s own knowledge and mistakes. So far, no machine has fully achieved these higher forms of consciousness. However, some breakthroughs are emerging. Last year, DeepMind developed a deep learning system capable of retaining data during its processing, a step toward global information integration. Meanwhile, Ian Goodfellow’s adversarial neural networks are evolving in a direction that could one day lead to self-awareness, as they can evaluate whether generated data is real or fake. Although these developments are still in their early stages, scientists believe they represent important steps toward machines that may one day exhibit behaviors resembling human consciousness. If given enough features and capabilities, a machine could recognize what it sees, express confidence in its decisions, communicate its findings, and even experience illusions—just like humans do.
