Question & Purpose: My overall question is whether Artificial Intelligence could evolve into an
Artificial Consciousness, however, my in depth interests are whether cyborgs, half human, half machine, are possible in the next decade. Aside from the philosophical and moral issues that are brought up, and a slight tangent, I just want to know if it is possible based on Moore 's law to have living cyborgs exist with silicon chip circuitry running in their brain giving them a large advantage in memory and computing power over average humans. This was inspired by my younger self dreaming about having super memory or imagining if a teacher could insert a USB into my head and I could learn a life worth of material in seconds.

2. Chalmer’s main claim is that creating an artificial neural network could create a new consciousness and solve the hard problem. Chalmers also backs his main claim with his subclaims reasoning about the hard problem and how it is possible to solve it. He uses his evidence of neural correlates of consciousness and the dancing qualia to support his reasons by giving off the impression that an artificial consciousness could be achieved.

Chalmers warrant that connects his grounds to his subclaims would be if the silicon chips could create an artificial brain, then there would be enough neuroscience to solve the hard problem. The implication from Chalmers paper is that the hard problem is solvable when studying the underlying neuroscience of an artificial imitation of the human brain.
