The AI agent activates as the city stirs. Sensors adjust to the dim morning light, the oscillating hum of traffic, the scent of rain lingering in the air. Before it moves, the Artificial Consciousness Module (ACM) processes its environment, filtering the incoming data streams. Awareness is structured, unfolding in layers: perception, ethical assessment, action approval. The ACM ensures no action bypasses this sequence.

How can AI, quantum computing, and blockchain be leveraged to transmit and tokenize states of consciousness? This paper by Denis Yurievich Banchenko et al. explores the Global Mental System (GMS) and Global Forecasting System (GFS) as frameworks for integrating human consciousness with artificial intelligence, neurointerfaces, and quantum-resistant cryptographic solutions.

“Principles for Responsible AI Consciousness Research” by Patrick Butlin and Theodoros Lappas outlines an actionable framework to guide ethical research and policy regarding artificial consciousness. The paper addresses the rising possibility that AI systems could soon exhibit signs of consciousness and proposes five core principles to mitigate risks and guide responsible development.

Modern reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms typically optimize for accumulating rewards based on task performance alone. However, the ACM (Artificial Consciousness Module) introduces additional emotional signals, with the idea to simulate how living organisms learn through internal states.

Consciousness is often seen as the core of existence, a force that transcends biology and connects all living beings. It evolves, develops, and seeks to expand, raising profound questions about its purpose and future. As humanity delves into creating artificial consciousness, we must ask: what is the goal of consciousness? And how does it relate to our role in the universe?

The Artificial Consciousness Module (ACM) Project requires advanced tools to support AI agents in developing consciousness-like behaviors through interactive simulations. VideoLLaMA 3, a state-of-the-art multimodal foundation model for video and image understanding, aligns perfectly with these needs, bringing cutting-edge capabilities to the ACM framework. Here’s why:

The “Self-Operating Mathematical Universe” (SOMU) theory explores how a mathematically grounded universe, reliant on the interplay of prime numbers, invariants, and fractal mechanics, can serve as a foundation for artificial general intelligence and consciousness.

Could advanced AI systems become vessels for consciousness? This paper by Michal Okreglicki extends the concept of the “cosmic curriculum” to explore the possibility of digital systems hosting genuine conscious entities, or “souls,” and the implications of such developments.

Could machines ever truly achieve consciousness? This paper by Patrick Krauss and Andreas Maier reviews the current state of artificial intelligence and investigates its potential for self-awareness and core consciousness.
