Most people believe that large language models like ChatGPT have conscious experiences just like humans, according to a recent study.

In the new study, published April 13 in the journal Neuroscience of Consciousness, researchers argued that the perception of consciousness in AI is as important as whether or not they actually are sentient. This is especially true as we consider the future of AI in terms of its usage, regulation and protection against negative effects, they argued.

In the new study, the researchers asked 300 U.S. citizens to describe the frequency of their own AI usage as well as read a short description of ChatGPT. Participants were also asked to rate responses on a scale of 1 to 100, where 100 would mean absolute confidence that ChatGPT was experiencing consciousness, and 1 absolute confidence it was not. The more frequently people used tools like ChatGPT, the more likely they were to attribute some consciousness to it.
