The Uncomputable Core: Human Consciousness and the Limits of Artificial Intelligence

The recent, rapid advancements in artificial intelligence have inevitably reignited profound philosophical and scientific debates concerning the very nature of consciousness. At the heart of this discourse lies a fundamental question: can AI, no matter how sophisticated, ever truly achieve consciousness as humans experience it ? This report delves into this complex inquiry, drawing upon established philosophical concepts and the insightful independent perspectives, to argue that human consciousness is a multifaceted phenomenon deeply rooted in subjective experience, biological embodiment, and the existential awareness of mortality elements that current AI paradigms fundamentally lack. We will explore the distinctions between information processing and lived experience, the unique role of finitude in shaping human awareness, and propose an integrated view of consciousness that highlights the inherent limitations of artificial systems in replicating this uniquely human trait.
