Robot’s and human’s self: A computational perspective

Abstract

A hypothesis on how the robot’s self might emerge in the future will be set in this paper, as this could help us understand how it worked on humans. Since here, a sound computational explanation about some aspects of consciousness will be offered; as physical, chemical and psychological ones lack power to do so. This explanation involves neural modules that forecast each other and a computational fixed point that emerges from there. In this paper, the self is proposed as an emergent fixed point caused by a loop in the scope of prediction functions inside the brain.
