An artificial consciousness (AC) is an artificial system capable of achieving all known objectively observable abilities of consciousness including the ability to predict the external events in every possible environment when it is possible to predict. This field of study includes research aiming to create and study such systems in order to understand corresponding natural mechanisms.

The term "artificial consciousness" was used for the first time by Professor Igor Aleksander of Imperial College, London, who in his book Impossible Minds (IC Press 1996) stated that the principles for creating a conscious machine already existed but that it would take forty years to train a machine to understand language.
