The Artificial Consciousness Dilemma

  1. If it is possible to create artificial consciousness in a universal Turing machine, the universe is deterministic, therefore, free will does not exist. (Laplace’s Demon)

  2. If it is NOT possible to create artificial consciousness in a universal Turing machine, the universe is probabilistic, therefore, in an extremely limited way, free will exists. (Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle)
