Artificial intelligence is on the point of taking humankind into a new age. The turning point will come when AI has advanced so far that it matches human intelligence in every way. Human intelligence, whilst slower in some respects, is still more flexible than AI. But, once AI has caught up, it will take no time at all before going on to surpass humans by a huge distance. That scary prospect is termed artificial superintelligence (ASI).

Rupert Robson argues that we are now just two conceptual hurdles away from developing ASI. The first of the two hurdles is to embed consciousness in AI, thereby giving us the sentient robot. This will enable ASI to see the world through our eyes. The second of the two hurdles is about the developmental step needed in AI design so as to achieve human-level flexibility in thought.

A new world is about to open up before us. We need to understand it and prepare for it.

Industry Reviews
"The Sentient Robot gives us a sobering and thought-provoking glimpse into a world that may become very real for humanity at some point this century. The book covers subject matter such as neuroscience, philosophy and computer science, yet is accessible and fresh throughout." -- Professor of Neurosurgery
"Offers useful information about artificial intelligence." -- Simon Cocking * Irish Tech News *
"The discussion is well-informed and original in proposing a naturalistic 'mirrored homunculus' theory of consciousness." -- David Lorimer * Paradigm Explorer *
