Description:
What does it mean to be conscious, and could a machine ever truly achieve it? In Artificial You, philosopher Susan Schneider explores the profound implications of artificial intelligence for our understanding of mind, self, and identity. The book weaves two central threads: a deep inquiry into the nature of consciousness itself, and a stark warning about the philosophical blind spots that could accompany the development of advanced AI.
Schneider raises urgent, thought-provoking questions: Can machines possess subjective experience? Could a human mind merge with AI to enhance its capabilities—and at what cost? She argues that failing to consider the philosophical consequences of creating artificial consciousness might threaten the future of all conscious beings. This is not a technical manual, but a rigorous, accessible meditation on what we are, what we might become, and how our choices today could shape—or end—the flourishing of minds tomorrow. A must-read for fans of speculative philosophy, cognitive science, and anyone curious about the boundary between human and machine.
