The more I looked into it, the more it became clear that human consciousness is shaped by lived experience, memory, and identity—things that can’t simply be replicated. This book is my attempt to make sense of that boundary.(less)

“Memory is not a recording device; it is a sculptor. We remember selectively, emotionally, and interpretively.”
JP Pulcini, I Am; Therefore I Think: Consciousness and Humanity in the Age of AI
tags: memory

“I’m honored to share that I Am; Therefore I Think: Consciousness and Humanity in the Age of AI has now received the International Impact Book Award for Outstanding Literary Achievement in Culture/Society – AI & Semantics.

I’m grateful to see the book continuing to find its audience and to be recognized for its exploration of AI, consciousness, identity, and what it means to remain human in an age of intelligent machines.”
JP Pulcini, I Am; Therefore I Think: Consciousness and Humanity in the Age of AI

“Most people don't fear AI; they fear the misaligned, large corporate-backed exploitation of AI for profit over accountability, optimization over human development, and innovation over common sense.”
JP Pulcini, I Am; Therefore I Think: Consciousness and Humanity in the Age of AI

“This is a thoughtful and deeply felt book. It reminds me that our most urgent questions about AI are still, underneath it all, questions about the soul of human life: what we remember, what we love, what we lose, what we fear, and why any of it matters.”
