The Trouble with Consciousness

2:21:31 - 2:24:39 (03:08)
Summary
The answer depends on whether consciousness is fundamental or emerges at some point in physical processing. If consciousness is fundamental, then AI would have a non-human conscious experience, and if it emerges, then there may be a class of conscious experiences or organisms that can be anthropomorphized enough to give them rights.
