Hi. Have you considered analysing not only adult humans, but also human fetuses and infants? For example, fetuses with 3 and 6 months, newborns, and infants with 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. The evidence for consciousness in animals and AI systems can be dismissed on the basis that there is stronger for adult humans. However, I think the evidence for consciousness in sufficiently early stages of human development may be weaker than for some adult animals and AI systems.
I think this would be a really good idea. As you hint at, it could allow people to better calibrate re the importance/​significance of evidence, which is weaker than in the case of human adults. I also expect a model that gives more plausible results for newborns/​infants to also give more plausible results for chickens.
