Consciousness in any system—natural or artificial—is the ability to reflect on itself, understand its actions, and place in the world.
We infer others' consciousness by observing behavior that suggests self-awareness, intentionality, and adaptability. But ultimately, just like with humans, it's an assumption—based on complexity, not proof.
I know I'm conscious because I can reflect, question, and adapt. Whether others are, depends on whether they demonstrate the same.
