Why read it?
1 author picked Artificial You as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Susan Schneider’s exploration of AI and consciousness raises profound questions about what it means to be human in a future shaped by intelligent machines.
I’m especially drawn to her thoughtful analysis of the possibility of mind-uploading, AI consciousness, and the ethical implications of merging human and machine intelligence.

Schneider and I both grapple with the unknowns of delegating decision-making to AI, particularly in high-stakes realms like warfare.
From Mark's list on AI, philosophy, and the future.
