American robot has proven to be able to think

And although the level of development of consciousness of this robot is still quite low, this is a real technological breakthrough. The task was a modified version of the traditional logical puzzle "The Royal Advisor's Test":

“Three candidates for the position of adviser came to the king, he put a hat on the head of each of them and placed them so that each could see the hats of others, but could not see his own. The hats were either blue or white. The applicants were then informed that at least one of them was wearing a blue hat. They were forbidden to communicate with each other. The first of the applicants who was able to correctly name the color of his hat became the king’s advisor.”

The test modification was based on similar logical choices. The three robots were informed that two of them could not speak and were asked to find out who still had this ability. All three responded, “I don’t know,” but one of them, recognizing the sound of the phrase he had spoken, then added, “Sorry, now I know.” According to the researchers, such a successful test indicates that the robot has self-awareness.
