Artificial intelligence technologies are expanding rapidly without a corresponding philosophical understanding of their consequences for human life. The thinking of AI remains unexplored, and its intermediate and final results may pose serious threats. Modeling AI's phenomenology requires reformulating central questions in the philosophy of consciousness, such as the hard problem of consciousness, and articulating a human dimension of reality for AI. The study argues that solving the hard problem involves interpreting qualia as representations of the physical tied to bodily states. In AI's thinking process, restrictions based on the metaphysical meaning of the human body with human parameters are necessary. This reframes ethics: universal law must preserve material parameters essential for human existence and maintain the semantic universe where meanings exist.
