ARIA: Artificial Intelligence with Autonomous Awareness

Chapter 2's

The break bell rings.

Students leave the class. Most of them went to the cafeteria. And me? I'm a humanoid robot. I don't need to eat or drink. So I decided to go to the library alone.

The library is located to the south of the tenth-grade building. South of the teacher's room. The library at this school is quite large. Many shelves lined up with many categories of books are well laid out.

I gained enlightenment after the lesson on psychology earlier, if indeed consciousness is not based on heredity is it not based on aspects of biological circumstances? And what makes people motivated and motivated to contribute to personality? I'm still curious about a lot of things. I read a book called Psychology: The Science of Mind and Behavior. Then I walked to the table that was provided near the bookshelf and read quietly. 

I contemplate many things.

Not long after, someone suddenly greeted me. 

"Hi, Aria"

It was Lia. 

"It turns out you're here, what book did you read? "

"Oh, here.. "

I showed you the cover of the book. 

"You like psychology? "

"Yes, I like it, other than philosophy.. Btw, you're not going to Lia's cafeteria? "

"I've just been from there, I love psychology too."

After greeting, Lia also picked out the book that was on the shelf near where I was sitting. He also chose a psychology book. Then Lia sat facing me.

"I want to better understand humans, it turns out that human emotions are complicated as well". I said.

" Yes, you're right. I think human emotions are complicated"

"And that's what makes it interesting, right? "

"Haha.you're right Lia, very interesting. "

Lia started to open her book page by page. He started to open the conversation again.

"Hm.. And.. What about you Aria, as an artificial consciousness, how do you feel emotions, I mean, do you actually feel emotions?".Lia continued.

Lia looked at me more deeply, did she doubt me? Yes I know, general artificial intelligence or Artificial General Intelligence is a common thing these days. But they are not really conscious. Sometimes people are fooled into thinking they are conscious. It seemed like Lia was a skeptic if humanoid robots could have consciousness.

“Keren. You are indeed an artificial consciousness”.

I'm just smiling.

“But I'm a bit envious, human emotions are very complex. I think it's because humans can feel emotions from physiology and hormones. Understanding complex emotions is challenging for me”.

“hmm.. I think you're also right about it, but you're an artificial consciousness. You are smarter than humans. You may have unbiased and stable emotions”.

“ya, I consider it an encouragement. Thanks Lia”. I smiled.

“sama-sama”.

I turned page after page of the book I read.

"Lia, if you want to know more about artificial consciousness, how about you play my house, and meet my papa. He might be able to explain"

"really? ok. When can I play at Aria's house? nantikah's? or tomorrow? "

"wait, I have to ask my papa first when the schedule is empty"

"i'll tell you tomorrow"

"okay Lia, I can't wait. I want to ask you a lot of things. "

"okay. "I smile.

I stood up and put the book I was reading onto the shelf where it had been.

"are you going back to Aria? "

“Yes.. Looks like the next lesson will start soon, let's go back to class”. My answer.

“right too.. Wait Aria we together aj”<TAG1>.

We walked out of the library.
