Over 60 years ago, computer scientists hatched ideas for developing machines capable of performing tasks instead of human intelligence. This fledgling field of AI now risks overwhelming us in a tsunami of technological innovation, generative AI and autonomous robotic agents. As human reliance on AI robotic devices increases, will this weaken our capacity for creativity, diminish our ability to constantly seek to understand and appreciate our world, interpret information, make decisions, and think for ourselves in ways that have driven human ingenuity for millennia? Do you want to learn what makes us human and so different to AI, what constitutes intelligence and how our brains learn about and understand the world and ourselves? How did we develop into conscious sentient creatures with emotions and feelings, the capacity for empathy and compassion, the ability to form close relationships and a distinct sense of self and individuality? Learn why it is vital to our survival to know whether AI threatens this specialness and what it means to be human.

This book explores the intersection of AI, neuroscience, and psychology, revealing how close we are to creating super-intelligent robots with full autonomy and agency. But the real question is, how will this affect us and mankind’s future? Understand the latest research and studies on the current state of AI and robotics technology and the potential advantages and disadvantages and ethical and moral impacts of having super-intelligent AI sentient robots living amongst us.
