Creation of a Conscious Machine

Experience a deep dive into the journey of creating artificial intelligence that explores historical roots, technological hurdles, and future possibilities, combining technical insights with philosophical exploration.Key FeaturesExplores the historical context and technological evolution of AIProvides a comprehensive analysis of the Turing Test and its implicationsPresents a clear and practical strategy for creating conscious machinesBook DescriptionThis book delves into Generative AI and the potential for AI to achieve consciousness. It covers historical and modern perspectives on AI, from ancient myths to the Turing Test and current advancements. The book explores the theoretical and practical aspects of creating a conscious AI, including specifications for synthetic consciousness and integrating AI with human cognition. It questions whether generative AI can meet traditional criteria of consciousness. The journey begins with understanding consciousness, tracing AI's origins, and clarifying human cognition through AI. It examines early AI failures, fears of success, and the engineering of consciousness. The book also explores archaic AI representations, the intelligence of automatons, and the relevance of the Turing Test, concluding with strategies for achieving synthetic consciousness. These concepts are crucial for advancing AI towards synthetic consciousness. This book transitions readers from historical perspectives to modern AI challenges, blending theory with practical insights. It is an essential resource for understanding the future of AI and its potential to achieve consciousness.What you will learnUnderstand the role of consciousness in AIExplore the historical origins of AIIdentify key challenges in AI developmentAnalyze the Turing TestExamine AI's social and ethical implicationsLearn about generative AI and consciousnessWho this book is forIdeal for AI researchers, cognitive scientists, technologists, and enthusiasts with a keen interest in artificial intelligence and consciousness.
