how will you test your belief?


While not a test for the belief directly nor a test of consciousness, I would start with making a sufficiently advanced embodied reinforcement learning agent that can do each of these things on a super basic level, then test for emergent goal setting and seeking.


That would be an interesting exercise in computer science, but wouldn't show us that you'd correctly determined the criteria for consciousness.


I absolutely agree. It might open some doors for further testing though.
