Arguments for and against digital consciousness: scientific analysis

This article presents a comprehensive analysis of the arguments "for" and "against" the concept of digital consciousness, located at the intersection of philosophy, neuroscience, cognitive science and information technology.The very question of the possibility and expediency of creating digital consciousness remains open and requires further interdisciplinary research. Regardless of whether digital consciousness will ever be created, a discussion about this concept is fundamental to understanding the nature of consciousness, defining what makes us human, and understanding the future of humanity in the digital age.

Abstract

This article presents a comprehensive analysis of the arguments "for" and "against" the concept of digital consciousness, located at the intersection of philosophy, neuroscience, cognitive science and information technology.The very question of the possibility and expediency of creating digital consciousness remains open and requires further interdisciplinary research. Regardless of whether digital consciousness will ever be created, a discussion about this concept is fundamental to understanding the nature of consciousness, defining what makes us human, and understanding the future of humanity in the digital age.
