sentient machine
Aware artificial mind
A sentient machine is a hypothetical artificial system possessing consciousness and subjective experience—not merely processing information but actually feeling, perceiving, and aware of itself.
The concept appears frequently in science fiction and philosophy of mind debates: Would a sentient machine have rights?
Whether machines can truly become sentient, rather than merely simulating sentience, remains one of the central questions in artificial intelligence.
