Is AI conscious?

Sources:

Jim O'Shaughnessy touched on the complexity of the question regarding AI's consciousness during a discussion on his podcast. He highlighted the challenge in trying to provide a definitive answer to such a complex and adaptive system. O'Shaughnessy supports the notion that it might be more practical to continue doing what works rather than seeking an ultimate 'God equation' for everything, including AI consciousness. He poses that, historically, humans have tried to treat complex adaptive systems analytically, which may not always yield meaningful results 1.
