Citation: Ralf Otte (2024). On a heuristic approach to the description of consciousness as a hypercomplex system state and the possibility of machine consciousness. Adv. Artif. Intell. Mach. Learn., 4 (4 ):3059-3070
This article presents a heuristic viewpoint that shows that the inner states of consciousness experienced by every human being have a physical, but imaginary, hypercomplex basis. Based on theoretical considerations about human consciousness, it will very probably be possible to make targeted technical use of hypercomplex system states in the future as a result of mathematical investigations.
The hypothesis of the existence of hypercomplex system states on technical machines is already supported by the performance of highly complex AI systems. However, this has yet to be proven. In particular, there is a lack of experimental data that distinguishes such systems from other systems, which is why this question will be addressed in subsequent articles. This paper shows a mathematical possibility that hypercomplex system states on machines could actually be generated and used in a targeted manner. In the literature, hypercomplex system states are already referred to as machine consciousness, it could become really possible.
The article thus represents a kind of basic article for a completely new form of AI, an AI with consciousness phenomena.
