Neuromorphic Correlates of Artificial Consciousness in ACM

How can neuromorphic design contribute to artificial consciousness? This paper by Anwaar Ulhaq proposes the Neuromorphic Correlates of Artificial Consciousness (NCAC), a framework inspired by the neural correlates of consciousness (NCC) in neuroscience.

Neuromorphic Correlates of Artificial Consciousness, authored by Anwaar Ulhaq, explores the intersection of neuromorphic architecture and brain simulations for advancing AI consciousness.

Key Highlights

• Neuromorphic Design: Introduces NCAC as a theoretical framework linking neuromorphic architecture to conscious-like behaviors in AI.
• Neural Correlates of Consciousness: Draws parallels between biological and artificial neural systems to simulate consciousness.
• Practical Applications: Highlights advancements in AI and computing, including quantum and neuromorphic designs, as pathways to artificial consciousness.

Connection to ACM

The Artificial Consciousness Module (ACM) does not directly align with the neuromorphic principles in this paper, as ACM focuses on layered simulations and multimodal agent designs rather than hardware-level architectures. However, the concept of correlating computational structures to conscious behaviors may provide conceptual value for ACM’s theoretical framework.
