Consciousness in AI

The remarkable advancements in artificial intelligence highlight humanity's ingenuity in replicating cognitive functions.
But a fundamental question remains: Could AI one day transcend computation to attain consciousness?
Blending ancient philosophies, cutting-edge science, and emerging AI theories, this book delves into the enigmatic nature of consciousness and its intersection with technology.
From Alan Turing's foundational question, "Can machines think?" to the transformative possibilities of Quantum Field Theory, consider questions such as:
. How might AI evolve from simulating intelligence to achieving consciousness?
. Can Vedantic and ancient Indian wisdom provide insights on consciousness in relation to AI?
. Is consciousness a fundamental essence of the universe or a byproduct of the material brain?
Through the lens of neuroscience, cognitive science, and Integrated Information Theory, the book investigates how conscious experience might arise in artificial systems. It also explores how quantum mechanics and Quantum Field Theory support the idea that consciousness is more than a neurological phenomenon.
Delve into the interaction between universal consciousness and AI systems as well as the interaction between AI systems and the external world with Consciousness in AI.
