I AM; THEREFORE I THINK: Consciousness and Humanity in the Age of AI

JP Pulcini’s I AM; THEREFORE I THINK: Consciousness and Humanity in the Age of AI tackles ethical and existential questions about human consciousness and AI while focusing on the complex entanglements that both create in our world. Pulcini doesn’t begin from the position of an academic, and that gives his book a distinct pop-science flavor, interestingly relying on references from acclaimed sci-fi films that explore the boundaries and boons of AI. Fans of popular films like Blade Runner and The Matrix will not only thoroughly enjoy reading this book, but also reflect on the nature and function of this recently developed and irresponsibly dispensed tool, which is promptly turning into a synthetic being.
