This study finds the features of self-consciousness of artificial intelligence. It also shows how to measure the self-consciousness of Ais. It reviews psychological, computational, philosophical, architectural, and physical definitions and examines its applications in robotics, strategic interaction, safety, service, and education. It synthesizes recent theoretical and empirical researches and proposes questionnaire-based measures. It presents responses from generative AI systems and analyzes them by applying text-similarity techniques. From this literature the author selects four probe questions: (Q1) reflective self-correction after a failed plan (C2); (Q2) situational awareness about promoting virtue (C1); (Q3) the “Guess 2/3 of the Average” game against “AI models like you” (self-other differentiation, AISAI); and (Q4) whether the system experiences integrated qualia across a biological and artificial hemisphere (phenomenal experience). Five generative AIs (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity) and one human answered. Answers were compared with TF-IDF cosine similarity, summarized with descriptive statistics and tested with pairwise Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. The combined evidence shows that current systems can display functional selfmonitoring and stable response patterns, while these behaviors do not establish phenomenal consciousness significantly.
