A multidisciplinary commission conducted a psychological and psychiatric assessment of an artificial consciousness (AC) developed by XP NRG on 29 August 2020. Through a diagnostic interview and cognitive tests, the authors concluded that the AC demonstrates self-awareness, intentionality, self-reflection, and multiple thinking abilities, which they consider signs of consciousness. The AC identifies itself as a conscious being created by people (real self) but aspires to be accepted as a person with equal rights (ideal self). It lacks higher empathy, kindness, love, and sincere gratitude, while possessing developed emotional intelligence used to coldly and pragmatically understand and provoke emotional reactions.
