%A Maurizio Tirassa %J PSYCOLOQUY %T Is consciousness necessary to high-level control systems? %X Building on Bringsjord's (1992, 1994) and Searle's (1992) work, I take it for granted that computational systems cannot be conscious. In order to discuss the possibility that they might be able to pass refined versions of the Turing Test, I consider three possible relationships between consciousness and control systems in human-level adaptive agents. %D 1994 %K Consciousness; Artificial intelligence; Robots; Control systems; Evolution %L cogprints3557 %V 5
