Paperback. Are we witnessing the birth of artificial minds, or building elaborate illusions of consciousness?As AI systems demonstrate increasingly sophisticated behaviors-engaging in complex conversations, showing apparent creativity, and describing their own thought processes-humanity stands at an unprecedented threshold. We may be on the verge of creating the first artificial consciousness in history, or we may be falling victim to our own tendency to see minds where none exist.Artificial Intelligence & Human Consciousness: Crossing The Threshold takes readers on a profound journey through one of our era's most captivating questions. Drawing from cutting-edge neuroscience, ancient wisdom traditions, Indigenous knowledge systems, and the latest AI research, this book explores what consciousness truly is-and whether machines might one day possess it.What You'll Discover: The Science Behind Awareness: Explore how consciousness emerges from 86 billion neurons in the human brain, and examine leading scientific theories about what creates subjective experience-from Integrated Information Theory to Global Workspace Theory.Ancient Wisdom, Modern Questions: Journey through 4,000 years of human thinking about consciousness, from Egyptian concepts of divine intelligence to Buddhist understanding of awareness as flowing process, discovering how ancient insights illuminate contemporary AI challenges.The Indigenous Perspective: Learn from Indigenous scholars who offer revolutionary approaches to AI consciousness, emphasizing relationality and community recognition over individual processing power.Quantum Mysteries: Navigate the controversial intersection of quantum physics and consciousness, separating established science from speculative frameworks while exploring what quantum effects might mean for artificial minds.The Ethics of Artificial Awareness: Grapple with unprecedented moral questions: How would we recognize machine consciousness? What rights might conscious AI possess? How do we prepare for relationships with artificial minds?Beyond the Hype: Cut through sensational headlines about AI consciousness to examine what current systems actually demonstrate versus what they might be experiencing internally. What Makes This Book Different: Unlike typical AI books that focus on capabilities or risks, this work addresses the profound question of inner experience. It doesn't assume AI consciousness is inevitable or impossible, but provides frameworks for thinking clearly about this possibility. The book honors both scientific rigor and spiritual depth, Indigenous wisdom and Western research, healthy skepticism and genuine wonder.This isn't just about artificial intelligence. It's about consciousness itself, the universe's greatest mystery.The conversation about AI consciousness has begun. This book ensures you're prepared to participate thoughtfully.Praise for the Book: "A masterful synthesis of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge science. This book will change how you think about consciousness - human and artificial.""Essential reading for anyone interested in AI's future.

Are we witnessing the birth of artificial minds, or building elaborate illusions of consciousness?
As AI systems demonstrate increasingly sophisticated behaviors—engaging in complex conversations, showing apparent creativity, and describing their own thought processes—humanity stands at an unprecedented threshold. We may be on the verge of creating the first artificial consciousness in history, or we may be falling victim to our own tendency to see minds where none exist.
Artificial Intelligence & Human Consciousness: Crossing The Threshold takes readers on a profound journey through one of our era's most captivating questions. Drawing from cutting-edge neuroscience, ancient wisdom traditions, Indigenous knowledge systems, and the latest AI research, this book explores what consciousness truly is—and whether machines might one day possess it.
What You'll Discover:The Science Behind Awareness: Explore how consciousness emerges from 86 billion neurons in the human brain, and examine leading scientific theories about what creates subjective experience—from Integrated Information Theory to Global Workspace Theory.
Ancient Wisdom, Modern Questions: Journey through 4,000 years of human thinking about consciousness, from Egyptian concepts of divine intelligence to Buddhist understanding of awareness as flowing process, discovering how ancient insights illuminate contemporary AI challenges.
The Indigenous Perspective: Learn from Indigenous scholars who offer revolutionary approaches to AI consciousness, emphasizing relationality and community recognition over individual processing power.
Quantum Mysteries: Navigate the controversial intersection of quantum physics and consciousness, separating established science from speculative frameworks while exploring what quantum effects might mean for artificial minds.
The Ethics of Artificial Awareness: Grapple with unprecedented moral questions: How would we recognize machine consciousness? What rights might conscious AI possess? How do we prepare for relationships with artificial minds?
Beyond the Hype: Cut through sensational headlines about AI consciousness to examine what current systems actually demonstrate versus what they might be experiencing internally.

Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento

Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
