This leads to a logical error: to put equal signs between people and android robots, endowing both with consciousness. Today, scientific research has expanded the understanding of the phenomenon of consciousness, but the problems with its definition have not disappeared. The article provides evidence that the application of the term consciousness to android robots is a mistake that can lead to serious consequences.
