tl;dr

A sentient AI “agent” must be capable of demonstrating three things: agency, perspective, and motivation.

Agency:the ability to act and the ability to demonstrate causal reasoning.

Perspective: You can only ever view reality from your unique perspective. it’s part of how we define our “self.”

Motivation:an innate sense of presence that allows us to predict causal outcomes incredibly well.
