Abstract
Besides questions relating to technical implementations, the research field of consciousness in AI should focus on users’ perceptions of conscious technologies. From a UX perspective, not only the actual capabilities of a technology are decisive, but also what users see in it. Moreover, it is important to consider if consciousness attributions to AI are desirable. The position paper highlights upsides and downsides of such attributions and comes to the conclusion that a quandary evolves, which is described using the example of a therapy robot.
