Bidirectional Semantic Communication Between Humans and Machines Based on Data, Information, Knowledge, Wisdom, and Purpose Artificial Consciousness

Abstract

Large language models (LLMs) and other artificial intelligence systems are trained using extensive DIKWP resources (data, information, knowledge, wisdom, purpose). These introduce uncertainties when applied to individual users in a collective semantic space. Traditional methods often lead to introducing new concepts rather than a proper understanding based on the semantic space. When dealing with complex problems or insufficient context, the limitations in conceptual cognition become even more evident. To address this, we take pediatric consultation as a scenario, using case simulations to specifically discuss unidirectional communication impairments between doctors and infant patients and the bidirectional communication biases between doctors and infant parents. We propose a human–machine interaction model based on DIKWP artificial consciousness. For the unidirectional communication impairment, we use the example of an infant’s perspective in recognizing and distinguishing objects, simulating the cognitive process of the brain from non-existence to existence, transitioning from cognitive space to semantic space, and generating corresponding semantics for DIKWP, abstracting concepts, and labels. For the bidirectional communication bias, we use the interaction between infant parents and doctors as an example, mapping the interaction process to the DIKWP transformation space and addressing the DIKWP 3-No problem (incompleteness, inconsistency, and imprecision) for both parties. We employ a purpose-driven DIKWP transformation model to solve part of the 3-No problem. Finally, we comprehensively validate the proposed method (DIKWP-AC). We first analyze, evaluate, and compare the DIKWP transformation calculations and processing capabilities, and then compare it with seven mainstream large models. The results show that DIKWP-AC performs well. Constructing a novel cognitive model reduces the information gap in human–machine interactions, promotes mutual understanding and communication, and provides a new pathway for achieving more efficient and accurate artificial consciousness interactions.
