1 Could a machine be conscious? This question is often dismissed as simple by those that would say “yes” in response. The usual claim made by the pro camp is that man is a ‘biological machine’ and is conscious‚ ergo‚ a machine is conscious. If we‚ humans‚ are truly biological machines and we are at the same time conscious then I would agree that yes‚ categorically‚ a machine could be conscious. But is it really that simple? I contend that it is a more difficult problem but not that it is a complicated
