Science fiction has long entertained the idea of artificial intelligence becoming conscious.
Many researchers say that Al systems aren't yet at the point of consciousness,but the pace of Al
evolution (has got them considering:how would we know if they were
To answer this,.a group of 19 ncuroscientists(神经系统科学家)，philosophers and computer
scientists have come up with a checklist of standards that,if met,would indicate whether a system
has a high chance of being conscious.The authors made the effort because "it seemed like there
was a real lack of detailed,thoughtful discussion of AI consciousness,"says co-author Robert
Long,a philosopher at the Center for Al Safety.
The team says that a failure to identify whether an Al system has become conscious has
important moral implications.If something has been labelied "conscious",according to co-author
Megan Peters,a neuroscientist at the University of Califoria,"that changes a lot about how we as
human beings feel that entity(独立存在的个体)should be treated".Long adds that,as far as he
can tell,not enough effort has been made by the companies building advanced Al systems to
evaluate the models for consciousness and make plans for what to do if that happens.
One of the challenges in studying consciousness in Al is defining what it means to be
conscious.Peters says that for the report,the rescarchers focused on "phenomenal consciousness".
Many neuroscience-based theories describe the biological basis of consciousness.But there is
no agreement on which is the right one.To create their framework.the authors therefore used a
range of these theories.The idea is that if an Al system functions in a way that matches aspects of
many of these theories,then there is a greater likelihood that it is conscious.
They argue that this is a better approach to assessing consciousness than simply putting a
system through a behavioral test-say,asking ChatGPT whether it is conscious,or challenging it
and seeing how it responds.That's because AI systems have become remarkably good at
mimicking(模仿)humans.

A.It is far from enough.
B.It is progressing rapidly.
C.it has shown promising insights into it.
D.It has learnt a lot from previous research.
29.What would change if Al systems became conscious according to Megan Peters
A.Their final applications.
B.How humans treat them.
C.Their moral responsibilities.
D.How humans make future plans
30.What is a challenge of studying Al consciousness
A.Providing a definition of it.
B.Uncovering the reason behind it.
C.Measuring Al's ability to mimic humans.
D.Comparing Al consciousness and human consciousness
31.How do the researchers identify whether an AI system is conscious
A.By observing its responses to digital signals and online questions.
B.By checking its understanding of some neuroscience-based theories.
C.By comparing its functional patterns with neuroscience-based theories.
D.By conducting experiments and tests to measure its level of self-awareness.
