The Turn Inward

Consciousness. Awareness. The AI Threshold. The Turn Inward explores what artificial intelligence is revealing about the nature of human awareness — and why the most important frontier humanity has ever faced is the one within.

The Self Is Not a Noun. It's a Verb.

Right now, without trying, you are being a self. Narrating your experience. Monitoring how you're perceived. Replaying the past. You didn't decide to do any of that. It's just running. Neuroscience has a name for the system responsible — and it turns out the ancient world got there first.

The Turn Inward

Artificial intelligence can now do what we do. That fact has produced the one question our tools have never before been able to force upon us: If the machine can do what I do — what am I? That question is what this project is about.
