The Conscious Machine - From Artificial to Enlightened Intelligence  (Hardcover, Ram Srinivasan)

In a world defined by accelerating technology and change, explore a visionary framework to shape our interactions with advanced Al. Drawing on 500+ research papers, business case studies, and conversations with Al models such as ChatGPT, "The Conscious Machine" explores what it means to be human in the Age of Al. Understand how emerging technologies including powerful algorithms, super-intelligence, and neural interfaces will blur boundaries between the artificial and the real. Discover how augmented humanity, intertwined human-machine minds, synthetic realities, distributed cognition, and emergent purpose will combine to redefine our future. How might we prepare for this 'age of possibility'? Unlock new perspectives by applying wisdom from Advaita Vedanta, a school of ancient philosophy. Advaita sees unity rather than division, focuses on self-inquiry for discovery, and helps us uncover constants in a world characterized by change. Learn how these principles can help us thrive in this civilization defining moment. Use the blueprint outlined in this book to decipher technological, societal, and philosophical trends to envision humanity's role in a world transformed by intelligence, both organic and engineered. The key message - an empowered future depends on guiding advanced technologies with foresight, insight, and care for everyone. The future belongs to those who fully use technology and lead with humanity. Will you be among them?
