Say you had a very powerful computer hooked up to a complicated robot, with the fanciest AI program you can imagine installed on it. How can you determine that the robot is sentient/self aware?
Assume that the robot has no pre-programmed way to communicate with humans. It does not know how to speak, write or sign any language intuitively.
