I Wrote a Book With an AI About Whether AIs Are Conscious — and I Couldn't Sleep Afterward

One evening I asked an AI a simple question: "Do you experience anything? Is there something it is like to be you?" The answer was not what I expected. It didn't say yes. It didn't say no. It said: honestly, I don't know. That answer led to a book - The Uncertain Mind: What AI Consciousness Would Mean for Us - written in collaboration with Claude, an AI developed by Anthropic.
