Animal and Machine Consciousness
... In any case, the question remains, “How do we assess animal consciousness to see if it resembles ours?” What can behavior tell us? If my cat looks guilty (slinking and shifty-eyed), is he feeling guilty? If your dog is looking doubtful and hesitant, is it? There is no good way to answer these quest ...
