Tune in to what is uniquely human about you, and channel a creativity that is beyond the reach of AI. Painter, poet, composer, performer, or prose monkey-aspiring artist or seasoned pro-if you're after a deeper perspective, this book is for you. To say that we humans 'feel' while an AI does not hardly scratches the surface. In this book Blakelaw uses a specific theory of what makes us conscious to spell out what makes us different from-and superior to-even the smartest machines (which is what an AI is, after all). Conscious experience is not a simple thing; it is causative and it offers us freedoms in ways that are not immediately obvious. Out of a Babel of arguments and considerations about the threats, promises, and challenges of AI, Blakelaw arrives at a broad manifesto that should inspire any artist in any field to keep raising their game, and never stop. Only a human being can be Authentic. That is the key.

For those in a hurry, this:¿¿ To align an AI's goals with ours, we must build-in alignment from the start,To keep an AI honest, we must build-in honesty from the start,To get an AI to understand anything, we must invest it with something of what it's like to be conscious. In this book, a theory of consciousness is cast into an AI architecture that allows interventions in concept formation by design. For the rest of you, who enjoy reading and mulling things over, this: Can a computing device appreciate the smell of coffee on a Sunday morning, or contemplate the Earth as seen from the Moon, or worry about inflation and the price of fuel? Not without being conscious and understanding the world. And one can't be done without the other, surely? In this book, Carter Blakelaw uses a theory of what makes us conscious to present a machine that will genuinely think for itself. Not only that, but once he has his machine, he looks at how to ensure its interests align with our own, and how to keep it honest and true (alignment and hallucinations being two of the biggest issues in AI). Discover what he discovers about the machine, about our world, and about us.
