Can silicon-based brains feel pain?
"Why fish (likely) don’t feel pain" presents the architecture of the circuitry needed for brains that can experience pain: Human brains have it; fish brains don't. There remains a question about artificial brains (ABs). Could an AB that is made of just silicon-based material that matched the architecture as described experience pain, or would it have to sufficiently involve biochemical material like what's in our human brains? In other words, the chemical components (present in a biochemical-based AB, but missing in the silicon-based AB) play a critical role in the pain experience.
