The Creation of a Conscious Machine

The Quest for Artificial Intelligence

About this book

  1. Describes seven novel variations of the Turing test.

  2. Outlines an original definition of consciousness described as implementable specifications.

  3. Introduces the concept of Mathematics as a "genetically" transmissible cognitive medium.

This book presents a groundbreaking journey into the world of Generative AI technology and offers an in-depth look at the prospect of AI achieving consciousness. The book navigates through various historical and modern perspectives on AI, from ancient myths to the Turing Test to the latest in technological advancements. It covers the theoretical and practical aspects of creating a conscious AI, including the specifications for synthetic consciousness and the integration of AI with human cognition. The book questions whether generative AI can meet the traditional criteria of consciousness and how this might be realized.
