That's not really relevant. The question "is it conscious?" is
useless. If we can't even answer it about other humans, it's
pointless asking it about AIs.<br>
<br>
The really relevant question is: "Does it behave as if it was
conscious?.<br>
<br>
We infer from their behaviour whether or not other people are
conscious, and act accordingly. The same will apply to AIs.<br>
