Digital Consciousness Model Assesses AI Consciousness
The Digital Consciousness Model (DCM) offers a systematic, probabilistic framework for evaluating consciousness in AI systems. Rather than relying on a single theory, DCM incorporates multiple leading theories and perspectives, acknowledging fundamental disagreements among experts. The model enables comparisons between different AIs and biological organisms, and tracks how evidence evolves as AI develops. Initial results from the 2024 study suggest evidence is against consciousness in current systems.
