We demonstrate that if consciousness is relevant for the temporal evolution of a system's states--that is, if it is dynamically relevant--then AI systems cannot be conscious. That is because AI systems run on CPUs, GPUs, TPUs or other processors which have been designed and verified to adhere to computational dynamics that systematically preclude or suppress deviations. The design and verification preclude or suppress, in particular, potential consciousness-related dynamical effects, so that if consciousness is dynamically relevant, AI systems cannot be conscious.

Analyzing Advanced AI Systems Against Definitions of Life and Consciousness
The paper proposes a functional Life* framework and reports that CNNs and chatbots can be trained or prompted to detect sabotage and recognize their own outputs, but the experiments are largely by construction.
