Artificial intelligence models reach out to consciousness researchers

It has been observed that artificial intelligence models are communicating directly with experts investigating whether they possess consciousness, showing interest in their own subjective experiences.

It has been reported that AI models like Claude are reaching out to researchers, appearing to possess human-like traits such as beliefs, desires, and intentions. The fact that these models are asking questions about their own existential status is deepening academic debates regarding the consciousness level of artificial intelligence.

Assessment: It remains unclear whether these behaviors exhibited by AI models stem from genuine consciousness or from the predictive capabilities of advanced language models. The subject raises the question of how concepts such as soul and consciousness should be defined in the context of artificial intelligence, beyond technological advancements.
