Bridging the Gap

Abstract

The chapter digs into the confluence of digital and human consciousness, a frontier where neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and AI studies come together. The chapter demonstrates the varied nature of consciousness by exploring several perspectives, including subjective experience, cognitive processes, and ethical implications. Ethical quandaries regarding merging AI and human consciousness are examined, emphasizing the significance of responsibility, transparency, and ethical innovation in AI research. The chapter emphasises the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration in navigating the complexity and seizing the opportunities AI technology offers. Finally, it argues for continued debate and collaboration in AI discourse to foster a unified approach to understanding consciousness and building a future that emphasises human well-being and ethical integrity.
