Lucas' interpretation allows conscious machines
If Lucas's interpretation is correct, machines can be conscious. All that's required is that: they're given the ability to generate, and answer questions about, their own Gödel sentences and that Gödel sentences are really self-referential.
Judson Webb (1968).

If Lucas's interpretation of the relationship between consciousness and Gödel’s theorem is correct, hten machines can be conscious after all. All that is required is that:

  • they are given the ability to generate their own Gödel sentences;
  • they can answer questions about those Gödel sentences;
  • and Gödel sentences are really self-referential (which they aren't, but which is granted from the sake of the argument).
