Abstract

The question about the problem of consciousness has a long-standing approach in philosophy. Today, with the advancement of artificial intelligence, questions such as the possibility of artificial intelligence being aware have been raised. Although consciousness is an unsolved problem in science and philosophy, the claim of its existence in the future of artificial intelligence has been raised by scientists and futurists. Ray Kurzweil is one of the people who predicts artificial intelligence in the not-too-distant future like the human brain. On the other hand, Hubert Dreyfus, with a phenomenological and philosophical approach, rejects the possibility of realizing artificial intelligence in a conscious and human-like way in the future and considers it unrealizable. Kurzweil's approach to artificial intelligence is computational and scientific, and Dreyfus' approach is philosophical and phenomenological. Each of them defends their claim by referring to some reasons.
