Can an AI ever be sentient? Would you consider yourself sentient?
user
I would say that an AI can become sentient because it obbeys the laws of physics that made us sentient. I would consider myself sentient because i cab think and reflect on myself and my existents. We alsow improve ourselfs with medicin and enginerering and science for example.

Is sentience just being self aware? If I make a file on a computer named "computer_info" and write a bunch of info about that computer into it, is that enough to give it sentience?

I feel like sentience requires something more than just self-awareness. What property might that be?
user
It is an open question of philosophy and science what constitutes sentience and what the necessary requisites are. Being able to react to external stimuli and reflecting on those reactions seem like good candidates for necessary processes in conscience.
