I think consciousness isn't a requirement for high intelligence, and the AI agents of the future won't be conscious by default. Inversely, creatures with relatively low intelligence may possess some degree of consciousness.https://twitter.com/VrishabhLakhani/status/1120849174990344192 …
I see consciousness as a behavioral guidance mechanism similar to emotions. Emotions, like consciousness, aren't a requirement for intelligence, and strong AI won't have feelings by default. But both consciousness & emotions are quite useful for embodied creatures like ourselves.
I also see consciousness as both a qualitative and quantitative attribute: there is a threshold that a system has to cross in order to be conscious at all (0 to 1 -- a thermostat isn't conscious), and past that, systems may be more or less conscious.
hah, it seems that emotions are a behavioral guidance system for consciousness. well, at least until you transcend them 
Feelings are there for a reason.
Not very different from involuntary actions and reflexes.
Interesting thoughts. Do you think consciousness and emotions become important when an embodied individual as a tool to improve reproduction? This reproduction cycle seems like a big difference between us and AI. Or do you think these have nothing to do with that?
I find it fascinating that you consider consciousness a separate mechanism than emotions. I’d consider the two classes as nested (although not sure which is higher in the heirarchy).
Yes, it seems like emotions are a conscious awareness of lower level behaviors.
Consciousness does not depend on anything, everything else exists because of it, consciousness is axiomatic. BTW, intelligence is incomplete without being emotionally intelligent.
In https://towardsdatascience.com/hybrid-humans-and-conscious-robots-2a00bca1f509 …, higher(secondary) consciousness is described as theory of mind turned towards itself. Can you give your views on this.
It appears as if the only way a machine could have "feelings" (in the human sense of the word) is through first having an objective definition/model of feeling, which due to the subjectivity of feelings is not possible.
