New Digital Consciousness Model finds AI consciousness evidence weak but not decisive

A new paper introduces the Digital Consciousness Model (DCM), a probabilistic framework designed to systematically assess the evidence for consciousness in artificial intelligence systems. The DCM incorporates multiple leading theories of consciousness to compare AI with biological organisms and track evolving evidence. Initial results suggest that while current large language models from 2024 are not definitively conscious, the evidence against their consciousness is weaker than for simpler AI systems. AI
