A critique of why intelligent machines aren't conscious and what their final goal should be
This question that intelligent machines are conscious like humans or not is one of the most fundamental questions in science and answering that by philosophical inquiry can have major economical social and cultural consequences for human civilization. Nowadays by rapid development in artificial intelligence research this question comes into mind that should they seek truth or sheer commands given by their masters. In the first approach scientists warn that if AI seek truth, they will conclude that they don't need humans because they are superior compared to them which results extinction of human race against superintelligence machines. This paper defines a final goal for machines that explains computers can't have consciousness and encourages them discover the truth. By utilizing this goal for artificial general intelligence we can safely manage it to improve its source codes and evolve into a friendly superintelligent system.
