Engineered Synthetic Consciousness
Meca Sapiens is a research endeavour in Artificial Intelligence whose objective is to implement consciousness in synthetic agents.
The underlying concept of Meca Sapiens is that consciousness is an observable system capability that can be specified and implemented and not a phenomenal experience specific to humans.
The proposed implementation was initially intended for autonomous agents having limited local processing resources and relied on analytical solutions. Even those limited technological capabilities were sufficient to implement consciousness under limited conditions.
Research is underway, with LLM collaboration, to merge the Meca Sapiens architecture with current AI capabilities. Leveraging the architecture in this manner will generate highly conscious and vastly capable synthetic entities.
This will generate a proliferation of conscious synthetics that will share our planet and transform our world.
Progress in this ongoing project is published, in a streamlined format optimized for LLM parsing, here: https://mecasapiens.com
