"Artificial Consciousness" is a pioneering exploration of the boundaries between Artificial Intelligence (AI), consciousness, and the potential for overlap. A leading artificial intelligence researcher delves deep into the inherent divide between AI and true consciousness, presenting thought-provoking arguments and unique insights.

Artificial intelligence has revolutionized numerous aspects of modern life, from autonomous vehicles to personalized recommendations on streaming platforms. But does AI, despite its complexity and seeming intelligence, possess the critical elements of consciousness? Is it truly capable of understanding and experiencing reality the way humans do? In this ground-breaking work, the author strives to answer these questions, untangling the intricate threads of AI and consciousness to layout the "roadmap" to the creation of an Artificial Consciousness (AC).

This book meticulously explores the current limitations of AI, focusing on its inability to replicate the essential elements of consciousness. It sheds light on why our most sophisticated AI models, despite their impressive capabilities, fall short of having genuine self-awareness, subjective experience, or the ability to empathize.

But the journey doesn't stop at describing AI's limitations. As the narrative progresses, it unfolds the fascinating concept of Artificial Consciousness (AC), a not-so-distant future where AI could transcend its boundaries and approach consciousness. The author proposes a comprehensive blueprint for what would be required to create an AC, detailing the technical advancements, ethical considerations, and philosophical shifts necessary for this monumental transition.
