ConsScale levels are characterized by abstract architectural components and the cognitive skills they generate. Therefore, in order to determine the level of artificial consciousness of an implementation, the presence of a set of concrete cognitive skills (CS) has to be tested. This table contains the list of CS defined in ConsScale.
In order to apply the scale to a particular MC implementation, concrete tests have to be defined to check whether or not the agent fulfills every CSi,j (see CS table). In other words, while the scale is defined as a generic tool, the application is domain specific, as concrete domain tests have to be specified in order to evaluate the agent.
See the Rating Section to find out more about how Machine Consciousness implementations can be evaluated using ConsScale.

New Scientist. 05 June 2010. Cover Story. pp. 28-31. The topic of mind uploading is addressed in the cover story of this New Scientist issue. ConsScale is quoted as an practical tool to really assess to what extent artificial avatars can be considered as conscious as ourselves. |
