Artificial Consciousness and Artificial Ethics: Between Realism and Social-Relationism

One can extract fr...

These include deliberately controlled action, conscious awareness, self-awareness, metacognition, and ego consciousness. We distinguish intrinsic intentionality from consciousness, but argue it is also important to understanding robot cognition. Finally, we exp...
