Pot avea masinile constiinta?
Can machines have a conscience?

Summary/Abstract: This paper is a summary of the impact that the impetuous development of information science and technology may have, emphasizing the trends and the role of artificial intelligence. It sets out what conscience is, the way in which the information is processed in the system of human thought, which is the relationship between this system and the study of human conscience and the way in which man-to-man, man-to-machine and machine-to-machine intercommunication is made. Then some controversial views on the possibility of the existence of some machines with conscience are presented and it is demonstrated why it is not possible to build such machines in the near future. The conclusion is that, in the near future, machines with a conscience are not consistent with reality and that the best thing would be to state that it will be possible in the future to build machines not with human intelligence, but only machines with algorithmic, binary intelligence.
