Soul Computing: A Theoretical Framework and Technical Architecture for Intelligent Agents with Independent Consciousness
Researchers have proposed a new theoretical framework called "Soul Computing" for developing intelligent agents with independent consciousness. This approach aims to move beyond traditional virtual humans by focusing on the reconstruction of individual mental worlds and enabling AI to transition from a tool to a living agency. The framework distinguishes itself from related fields by emphasizing an "Intensional" core architecture over purely "Extensional" functional capabilities. AI
IMPACT Proposes a new paradigm for AI development, potentially shifting focus from tools to conscious agents.
