1. Introduction

1.1 Background on Artificial Consciousness

Artificial consciousness, often referred to as machine consciousness or synthetic consciousness, is a field of research aiming to replicate or simulate aspects of human consciousness within artificial systems. The pursuit of artificial consciousness extends beyond traditional artificial intelligence (AI) by seeking to create systems that not only perform tasks but also possess self-awareness, subjective experiences, and the ability to understand and process complex concepts such as ethics and purpose.

1.2 The DIKWP Model Overview

The DIKWP model, proposed by Professor Yucong Duan, is a networked framework that conceptualizes cognitive processes through five interconnected elements:

• Data (D): Raw sensory inputs or unprocessed facts.

• Information (I): Processed data revealing patterns and meaningful distinctions.

• Knowledge (K): Organized information forming structured understanding.

• Wisdom (W): Deep insights integrating knowledge with ethical and contextual understanding.

• Purpose (P): Goals or intentions directing cognitive processes and actions.

In the DIKWP model, each element can transform into any other, including itself, resulting in 25 possible transformation modes (DIKWP*DIKWP). These transformations represent the cognitive and semantic processes that underpin consciousness and intelligent behavior.

1.3 The Necessity of a Philosophical Framework

Developing an artificial consciousness system necessitates a robust philosophical foundation. Such a framework ensures that the system's behavior aligns with ethical standards, supports meaningful interactions, and addresses complex issues related to cognition, morality, and purpose. By integrating the twelve fundamental philosophical problems into the DIKWP model, we can derive principles that guide the system's development, ensuring it operates responsibly and beneficially within human society.

2. Detailed Mapping of the Twelve Philosophical Problems onto the DIKWP Model
