Abstract
The article analyzes the concepts of artificial personality and artificial consciousness, and shows the key difficulties of implementing projects to create such artificial intelligence systems. These difficulties are related to the following characteristics of artificial personality and artificial consciousness: 1) creativity and free will; 2) intentionality; 3) qualia; 4) first person perspective; 5) the passage of time in consciousness. The basic needs for an artificial personality (in the context of the development of natural and artificial intelligence) are indicated. Two directions of artificial personality formation are highlighted: 1) transformation of an artificial system into an artificial personality; 2) transformation of a person into an artificial personality.
