In my idle perambulation across the net I recently found a very thoughtful
article on the question of qualia in machines, with some implications for
uploading and copying of personalities. While the arguments seem to be of
the general kind that was previously extensively analyzed on this list, the
article is useful in bringing them together in a coherent and quite
compelling manner.
Here is the link: http://www.u.arizona.edu/~chalmers/papers/qualia.html
Thus it appears there are good reasons to believe that all intelligent
machines will have qualia.
