Cover Story: How important might it be for a machine to be artificially conscious to be deemed capable of thought? Would a conscious machine succeed in Alan Turing’s Imitation Game? How far has computer science moved toward conscious machines since Alan Turing’s time? Can there be thought without consciousness? What is it like to be an artificially conscious machine? Turing countered Reverend Jefferson’s argument that a machine cannot think because it cannot be conscious. Turing warned against taking the solipsistic view which leads to the conclusion “I can only be sure that I am thinking, but have no evidence for others”. Allowing that others think is a matter of politeness according to Turing. Here, it is politely argued that there is a class of machines that are conscious in “a machine way” and would score highly in the Imitation Game. View this paper
