I Know I Am Conscious, but How Do I Know You Are?

You know you are conscious. But how do you know anyone else is? In this accessible, thought-provoking book, Dr Rajan Kailainathan explores the questions behind our most familiar assumptions: What is consciousness? What counts as intelligence? And why are we so confident that the human mind holds a special place? Blending philosophical fiction and nonfiction reflection, the book follows a doctor's encounters with an artificial intelligence named Maya, inviting readers to reconsider the boundaries between human and machine minds. If a machine speaks with understanding, can we know whether it feels anything? When we call intelligence "artificial", what are we really saying? Written for curious readers without requiring specialist knowledge, I Know I Am Conscious, but How Do I Know You Are? offers an invitation to question what we think we know about ourselves, other minds and the mystery of being.
