Abstract
The comparison of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with human consciousness has been one of the main motivations for the development of the former, although its current technological applications have given it its own justification and unprecedented economic utility in modern societies and globally. However, it is still pertinent to analyze the essential similarities and differences between AI and consciousness, as well as whether there are theoretical bases to affirm that the former can replicate the latter. This essay tries to put the discussion of the matter in the context of the philosophical conceptualization of the epistemological categories of subject and object, comparing them with the technical and theoretical foundations of computing, highlighting behavioristic and phenomenological approaches and their positions on this technology. With this in view, the aim is to contribute to an informed discussion, in the framework of the general interest in AI.
