Although the Artificial Intelligence field has made progress they don’t appear to be close to developing a conscious robot yet. It is pretty safe to conclude that computers today don’t have consciousness and therefore they don’t have a mind. An example of a conscious robot that has a mind will probably look something like the robot Ava from the movie Ex-Machina. Throughout the movie Ava demonstrates that she knows what she is relation to the world. She knows that she is an AI that must act like human, and if she fails to do so she will probably be shutdown.

She also demonstrates the ability to take actions to fulfill her desires, she is able to manipulate Caleb into helping her escape. It is safe to say that she has that consciousness function as a part of her overall system, only time will tell if we can develop a consciousness robot like Ava. And if we do we must recognize for what it is, and that is a robot with a
