Abstract
This chapter explores the connection between human and computer consciousness, considering the implications of their separation in the context of advancing artificial intelligence. It examines psychological perspectives on human and digital consciousness, highlighting differences in perception and emotional intelligence. The subjectivity and objectivity of human and computer awareness are also explored, along with the significance of innovation and creativity. Bridging the gap between human and computer consciousness enhances human-machine interaction and the design of AI systems, while addressing moral implications promotes ethical AI development. The chapter delves into philosophical debates on consciousness, mind, identity, and the distinctions between humans and machines, ultimately aiming to deepen our understanding and foster dialogue on AI.
