Abstract

Androids have been in our lives for a long time, whether through fiction, cinema or the discussions brought to us by media and scientists. To see them as conscious being has always been thought of as a possibility. In addition, the love life of androids has not escaped the imaginative minds of writers and filmmakers. Android consciousness and the emotional interactions between human and androids are both addressed in many science fiction movies and novels. This article aims to show that androids are exactly like humans in their capability to be conscious and to feel human-like emotions. It draws on Boris Kotchoubey’s model of consciousness as a yardstick to explore artificial consciousness in android characters. It also employs David Levy’s parameters for love to analyze androids in terms of feelings. In the end, after analyzing the behaviour of some android characters in selected movies and novels, the paper concludes that the androids could be called conscious beings and experience human consciousness. It also demonstrates that androids are able to show human feelings and emotions.
