THIS BOOK is the fully revised and updated second edition of
'Consciousness and Robot Sentience'. With lots of new material, it
will provide new insights into artificial intelligence (AI) and
machine consciousness, beyond materials published in the first
edition. The organization of this book has been streamlined for
better clarity and continuity of the lines of arguments.The
perspective of AI has been added to this edition. It is shown that
contemporary AI has a hidden problem, which prevents it from
becoming a true intelligent agent. A self-evident solution to this
problem is given in this book.This solution is surprisingly
connected with the concepts of qualia, the mind-body problem and
consciousness. These are the hard problems of consciousness that so
far have been without viable solution. Unfortunately, the solution
to the hidden problem of AI cannot be satisfactorily implemented,
unless the phenomena of qualia and consciousness are first
understood. In this book an explanation of consciousness is
presented, one that rejects material and immaterial substances,
dualism, panpsychism, emergence and metaphysics. What remains is
obvious. This explanation excludes consciousness in digital
computers, but allows the artificial creation of consciousness in
one natural-like way, by associative non-computational neural
networks.The proof of a theory calls for empirical verification. In
this case, the proof could be in the form of a sentient robot. This
book describes a step towards this in the form of the author's
small experimental robot XCR-1. This robot has evolved through the
years, and has now new cognitive abilities, which are described.
