Artificial Consciousness: Evolution of AI to Conscious Level
Evolution of AI to Conscious LevelBy Gaurav babbar & S.K.Vaid
Length4h 31m
About this audiobook
What separates intelligence from consciousness? As artificial
intelligence systems grow more capable — reasoning, adapting,
and operating with increasing autonomy — humanity faces its most
profound question: can machines become conscious?
Drawing on neuroscience, philosophy of mind, and cutting-edge AI
research, this book explores the evolutionary path from early
symbolic AI to agentic frontier systems. It examines leading
theories of consciousness, the distinction between synthetic
agency and genuine awareness, and the ethical, legal, and
societal implications of building minds we do not yet fully
understand.
Essential reading for anyone navigating the future of artificial
intelligence.
