Evaluate the Hard Problem of Consciousness as formulated by David Chalmers and compare it with Easy Problems of cognitive functions. Analyze major theoretical approaches to consciousness including: Integrated Information Theory (IIT), Global Workspace Theory (GWT), Higher-Order Thought (HOT) theories, and Panpsychism. Discuss the explanatory gaps between neural correlates of consciousness and subjective experience. Consider whether current scientific methods are theoretically sufficient to explain consciousness or whether new methodological frameworks are needed. Evaluate recent developments in consciousness studies and their implications for artificial intelligence.
