Sentient AI: Can AI become Conscious? – I

Sentient AI refers to artificial intelligence that can think, feel, and have experiences like humans. This idea, often seen in science fiction, is now being seriously discussed by scientists and ethicists as AI technology improves.Right now, AI can do many impressive things like analyse large amounts of data, learn from experience, and mimic human responses. However, these machines don't truly understand or have self-awareness. They just follow complex algorithms and data processing rules. Sentient AI would be different because it would need to have self-awareness, emotions, and the ability to think about its own thoughts.Creating sentient AI involves tackling some big questions. First, what exactly is consciousness? Second, even if we could make AI sentient, should we?
