ABSTRACT:

The quest to create artificial consciousness stands as a formidable challenge at the intersection of artificial intelligence and cognitive science. This paper delves into the theoretical underpinnings, methodological approaches, and ethical considerations surrounding the concept of machine consciousness. By integrating insights from computational modeling, neuroscience, and philosophy, we propose a roadmap for comprehending and potentially realizing conscious behavior in artificial systems. Furthermore, we address the critical challenges of validating machine consciousness, ensuring its safe development, and navigating its integration into society.
