Abstract
This article is an attempt at the “hard problem” of Consciousness. As the era of Artificial Intelligence is looming ahead, we are concerned about our future environment. We define human Consciousness and medium Consciousness. We clarify the difference between the brain and the mind. We demonstrate how the brain creates the mind but must do so only in the presence of Consciousness. We define a person and delve into the frequency of personhood to finally answer whether machines could become conscious one day or not.
