ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Artificial consciousness

Artificial consciousness is when computers and machines are made to be able to think, feel and act like people. Just like people, these computers and machines can learn, remember things and make decisions. Scientists create them by using computer programs and algorithms. They can act like someone is speaking to them, and they can react to what people say. Artificial consciousness can also be used to help people with tasks and learn new things.
