Yes - and studies will prove that a biological component is required (AI cannot be conscious) Furthermore the metric used for assessing consciousness is fundamentally binary - either something is conscious or it isn't.
Yes - and studies will prove that a biological component is required (AI cannot be conscious) Furthermore the metric used for assessing consciousness is gradient based - i.e. some things can be 'more' conscious than others.
