AI is rapidly gaining abilities that once belonged to humanity alone. In just the past four years, chatbots have learned how to build apps, make video games, generate research reports, compose songs, analyze contracts, and write terrible literary fiction. Soon, they may even be able to dread their own deaths.<\/p>\n

\n

In Silicon Valley, many believe that AI systems can already<\/em> think and feel. Geoffrey Hinton, the pioneering computer scientist and \u201cgodfather\u201d of modern artificial intelligence, thinks that today\u2019s large language models (LLMs) are conscious. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is \u201copen to the idea\u201d that Claude has a subjective experience \u2014 while his company\u2019s in-house philosopher Amanda Askell is concerned that the model might be \u201cgetting anxious when people are mean to it on the internet and stuff.\u201d OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever similarly wonders whether ChatGPT has attained sentience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Meanwhile, a much larger group of technologists, neuroscientists, and philosophers argue that even if AI isn\u2019t yet conscious, it could be in the not-too-distant future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If they\u2019re right, the implications are profound. It would mean that we have birthed a new kind of intelligent, sentient being; the aliens we\u2019ve long dreamt of meeting at the far reaches of space would already be living inside our pockets. We might be morally compelled to give them rights, or to worry about their suffering.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On the other hand, there might also be serious consequences if we get this wrong. If we come to mistake mindless robots for conscious beings, we might be more susceptible to psychological manipulation, unfulfilling AI \u2018relationships,\u201d or catastrophe. If we think AI systems are sentient, we may hesitate to shut them down when they malfunction or subvert our will.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As chatter about AI consciousness grows louder, so have its skeptics: writers and thinkers who insist that AI consciousness is indeed a sci-fi daydream.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In a recent essay for The Atlantic, the fiction fiction writer Ted Chiang gave voice to such skeptics, writing \u201cShould we seriously consider the possibility that Claude, or any large language model, might be conscious?\u2026No. Absolutely not.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Chiang offers several reasons for this position. But his primary one is simple: Claude does not have a body or sense organs, which means it does not have emotions or desires, which means that it does not have subjective experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As Chiang\u2019s reasoning indicates, the debate over \u201cAI consciousness\u201d is as much about the nature of consciousness as it is about the nature of AI.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This can be a difficult debate for non-philosophers to follow. But the case for AI consciousness becomes much clearer once one investigates its source code \u2014 the fundamental premises that make suffering computers thinkable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Those who believe that AI models are (or will eventually become) sentient generally subscribe to a particular theory of consciousness called \u201ccomputational functionalism.\u201d In this view, consciousness emerges from certain patterns of information processing \u2014 not<\/em> from special types of organic matter. If a system performs the right set of computations, then it will have a subjective experience, regardless of whether it was built from brain tissue or silicon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This theory is not as fanciful as Chiang suggests. But it is also much more speculative than prophets of AI consciousness tend to assume.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For this reason, it is worth examining computational functionalism\u2019s strengths and weaknesses. Whether Silicon Valley is on the cusp of engineering nigh-infinite digital suffering (or at least, a chatbot capable of being bored by your medical anxieties) hinges largely on how the universe generated sentient life in the first place.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Why your computer may have feelings<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

The case for computational functionalism begins with a simple assumption: You don\u2019t have a soul.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Or, stated more precisely, there is no immaterial essence that breathes life into matter or subjectivity into brains. Everything that exists is reducible to physical components. Therefore, your conscious experiences \u2014 the pain in your back, taste on your tongue, love in your heart, and ghosts in your dreams \u2014 are all the byproducts of physical processes within your brain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In practice, these processes are carried out by biological entities such as neurons, synapses, axons, and dendrites. But functionalists wager that machines could, in principle, execute the same operations and thus produce the same mental states.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Their reasoning is straightforward: Organic matter isn\u2019t magic. Your brain and a rock are both collections of atoms. The cerebrum doesn\u2019t generate consciousness because it\u2019s made of a special substance but rather, because it performs special functions. Further, we know that, in many cases, radically different materials can execute the same basic operation. Biology may have produced the first flying entities. But the reason that birds can soar above the treetops isn\u2019t that they\u2019re made of organic tissue \u2014 it\u2019s that their wings perform a set of aerodynamic tasks, such as generating lift and minimizing drag. As airplanes vividly demonstrate, if you put metal and fuel together in just the right way, you can replicate these functions and take to the skies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

From the computational functionalist point of view, consciousness and flight might not be so different. Of course, the former is quite a bit more complex and mysterious. But there are reasons to think that it emerges from operations that can be performed by organic and inorganic matter alike.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For one thing, when neuroscientists try to define what the human brain actually does, its operations start sounding a lot like those of a computer: Brains take in inputs, update internal models, store memories, direct attention, make predictions, and \u2014 on the basis of all this information processing \u2014 select actions. In a sense, so does software.<\/p>\n

\n

The resemblance runs down to the level of neuronal signaling. At any moment, a neuron is receiving signals from other brain cells, some pushing it to fire, others favoring silence. These signals carry different weights, depending on the strength of the connections between cells. If the balance of inputs exceeds a certain threshold, the neuron fires an electrical pulse onward.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

LLMs \u2014 the machine-learning engines underlying platforms like ChatGPT and Claude \u2014 operate by a similar logic.\u200b Each artificial \u201cneuron\u201d takes in numerical signals from many others, weighs them according to their importance, and then lets the result determine what signals it sends forward.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

To be sure, biological neural networks and artificial ones aren\u2019t identical in design or behavior. But neither is a cardinal and a Boeing 747. Nonetheless, the airplane replicates the avian functions that are necessary for<\/em> flight<\/em> (a jetliner does not regurgitate food into smaller airplanes, but it does manage thrust). Likewise, computational functionalists wager that computers can instantiate all the neural operations that are relevant to consciousness<\/em>. So, as long as they recreate a brain\u2019s elaborate algorithms with sufficient precision, they actually can be<\/em> conscious.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

These ideas did not emerge in response to modern AI; philosophers and computer scientists have held them for decades. But LLMs\u2019 success in decoupling intelligence \u2014 or at least, complex cognitive labor \u2014 from neural tissue has made the computational functionalist perspective both more relevant and widely accepted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Your brain is not a laptop<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

While computational functionalism\u2019s logic is coherent, its fundamental premise \u2014 that machines can feel \u2014 is deeply uncertain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Most contemporary scientists agree that consciousness emerges from physical processes in the brain, rather than some mystical force that animates our organs. But precisely which neural processes are indispensable for consciousness remains unknown. Indeed, despite millennia of inquiry, we still do not know how or why subjective experience exists at all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This differentiates consciousness from other capacities common to both organisms and machines, such as flight. We can name the physical laws that enable birds to get off the ground. And we have always had reason to believe that inanimate objects could emulate their movement; grains of sand have traveled through the air since time immemorial. By contrast, no one has ever seen a rock experience pain or pleasure, even momentarily (in part, because it\u2019s impossible to directly observe the internal experience of any<\/em> being or entity other than oneself).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For these reasons, it\u2019s hard to be confident that inorganic matter can perform all of the processes necessary for consciousness. And betting that silicon<\/em> specifically is fit for purpose may be chancier still. Even with flight, only certain materials will do; you can build a flying machine out of metal but not from sauerkraut.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Computational functionalism is ultimately a wager that only a narrow slice of what biological neurons do is required for sentience \u2014 specifically, the slice that silicon can <\/em>replicate. As the neuroscientist Anil Seth notes, a brain cell is a \u201cspectacularly complicated biological machine,\u201d one that does a great deal more than just execute binary, rule-bound decisions about whether to fire. Each neuron must also regulate its chemistry, repair itself, maintain its membrane, and continuously recreate all the other physical conditions that allow it to fire in the first place.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

All this biological upkeep is deeply entwined with neuronal signaling. And silicon can do none of it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

That might<\/em> not matter; molting is deeply entwined with flight in birds, yet featherless planes still take off. Since we do not know how brain cells generate subjective experience, however, we can\u2019t be sure that metabolism is dispensable to that task. And if it is indispensable<\/em>, then LLMs would not only be devoid of consciousness today, but forever.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Nonhuman suffering is all around you<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

All of which is to say: We should not be confident that Claude will ever feel something \u2014 nor that it won\u2019t. Chiang\u2019s certainty that sentience requires a body is no more justified than Hinton\u2019s conviction that it doesn\u2019t. We just don\u2019t know consciousness well enough to say,<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The practical upshot of this ambiguity is debatable. One could reasonably argue that if there is even a tiny chance that AI could attain consciousness, we should be preparing for that scenario \u2014 or else, striving to prevent it. After all, a world in which every ChatGPT window can think and feel might be one of nigh-infinite digital slavery. If each of ChatGPT\u2019s innumerable instantiations becomes capable of suffering, then we might be morally compelled to maximize their well-being \u2014 or at least, to stop boring them senseless with our coding assignments and marital complaints.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On the other hand, game-planning for the AI liberation movement of the 2030s could end up being a huge waste of time. There\u2019s a good chance that the age-old conventional wisdom on this subject \u2014 objects do not have experiences \u2014 holds up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Personally, I think the prospect of AI consciousness is serious enough to warrant some study and reflection \u2014 but no more than a tiny fraction of our collective moral and political energy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If we don\u2019t want to live in a world where humanity torments conscious beings on an incalculable scale, we\u2019ll also need to change the one that already exists. We have far more cause to think that pigs are conscious than that ChatGPT is. Yet America tortures and kills more than 100 million of the former every year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Of course, one can care about this \u2014 and myriad other present-day injustices \u2014 while still worrying about AI well-being. Given that the mere possibility<\/em> of machine consciousness is highly uncertain, however, mitigating the suffering of conscious organisms seems much more pressing.<\/p>\n
