A new paper from Google DeepMind, co-authored by Shamil Chandaria and Anil Seth, proposes a five-level framework for assessing AI consciousness. The framework evaluates systems based on behavior, algorithms, hardware, biological embodiment, and world connection. Current AI models score low on most levels, suggesting they are not conscious according to the paper's metrics, though the authors acknowledge the debate is ongoing and dependent on which theory of consciousness is adopted.
