Abstract
Which systems/organisms are conscious? New tests for consciousness ('C-tests') are urgently needed. There is persisting uncertainty about when consciousness arises in human development, when it is lost due to neurological disorders and brain injury, and how it is distributed in nonhuman species. This need is amplified by recent and rapid developments in artificial intelligence (AI), neural organoids, and xenobot technology. Although a number of C-tests have been proposed in recent years, most are of limited use, and currently we have no C-tests for many of the populations for which they are most critical. Here, we identify challenges facing any attempt to develop C-tests, propose a multidimensional classification of such tests, and identify strategies that might be used to validate them.
哪些系统/生物有意识？迫切需要对意识进行新的测试（"C 测试"）。关于意识在人类发育过程中何时产生，何时因神经系统疾病和脑损伤而丧失，以及意识在非人类物种中的分布情况，一直存在不确定性。最近，人工智能（AI）、神经有机体和异种机器人技术的快速发展更加剧了这一需求。尽管近年来提出了许多 C 检验方法，但大多数方法的用途都很有限，而且目前我们还没有针对许多人群的 C 检验方法，而这些人群对 C 检验最为关键。在此，我们将指出开发 C 测试所面临的挑战，提出此类测试的多维分类，并确定可用于验证这些测试的策略。
期刊介绍：
Essential reading for those working directly in the cognitive sciences or in related specialist areas, Trends in Cognitive Sciences provides an instant overview of current thinking for scientists, students and teachers who want to keep up with the latest developments in the cognitive sciences. The journal brings together research in psychology, artificial intelligence, linguistics, philosophy, computer science and neuroscience. Trends in Cognitive Sciences provides a platform for the interaction of these disciplines and the evolution of cognitive science as an independent field of study.
