I think to be conscious first requires you to be conscious of your own unique disposition. I s struggle with the idea of a machine becoming conscious without first having unique personal traits. Without having something personal to share, there would be no reason to become part of the conscious world. However, providing a person who already has a unique disposition with artificial neural networks to assist in sensory perception and expression is completely in the realm of possibilities. I think our disposition are initially inherited genetically and are altered through our life events and decisions and reactions to the life events. Enabling a machine to become conscious may be akin to cloning a human dna ‘memory starter kit’ . . .?
