| Sumario: | With the industrial revolution, machine-human interaction has become increasingly important under the umbrella of cybernetics in a process that extends to today's artificial intelligence applications, and in this process, psychology and other cognitive sciences have provided new theoretical expansions shaped on empirical findings to various debates in the fields of philosophy and artificial intelligence, such as the issue of consciousness. In this process, psychology and other cognitive sciences have also begun to make use of computer modeling in research on the human memory system, such as encoding, storage, and retrieval processes, and the experimental demonstration of memory modalities, such as working memory, that directly depends on a hypothetical central executive in our information processing system. However, the results of the research have always pointed out that, unlike relatively more mechanistic and sensation-based attentional processes, memory processes involving higher-level encoding and processing differ from conventional computer technologies, especially in terms of the logic and system architecture of storage and retrieval operations In this context, efforts to achieve a new technology that combines the capacity, flexibility, and creativity advantages of a human information processing system with the punctuality or objectivity of a computer in the classical sense have laid the groundwork for the formation and maturation of the concept of artificial intelligence (AI) as a common goal of researchers from different disciplines. In this process, discussions on consciousness have evolved in a direction where consciousness is redefined in terms of its functional properties. At the same time, the role of basic excitatory mechanisms as a regulating factor on this functionality has the risk of remaining in the background in discussions on consciousness. In the context of artificial intelligence studies, the current study also emphasizes the emotional foundations of consciousness, providing a general assessment and discussion about the inability to be a genuinely conscious AI.
