Consciousness, Artificial Intelligence, Artificial Neural Networks, NeuroscienceAbstract
Consciousness is said to be associated with neuronal activity in the brain, but how this relationship works is still unknown. There are different theories and opinions on whether consciousness is a biological phenomenon or a physical process. The question of whether consciousness can be created in artificial intelligence systems has also been raised. In this article, current artificial neural network models that attempt to mimic the workings of the brain have been discussed and evaluated for their adequacy in addressing the issue of consciousness.
