I am not conversant with your system or definitions. All I am asserting is that we believe we are conscious, or shall we say we have a property called "consciousness", but are unable to define exactly (or even approximately?) what it is. Hence, if we encounter a humanoid-type robot that can verbally respond or interact with us, even in the form of a black box, we lack any criteria for determining IF it is conscious. But the movie offers a hint of what to look for. At first I thought it was the concept of time, but that's wrong. The entity in question could have been supplied with a clock and thus could respond as if the concept of time exists; present, past and future. But that's insufficient to qualify for being "conscious". You should view the movie and see what it suggests to you. AG > > > I think Ex Machina provides an answer of what we need to look for.
