Book Description
People attribute a self to themselves. The sciences struggle to define what it is and how it comes about. However, they are certain that we have it and need it. For researchers, it is scarcely tangible and thus a tricky problem. The development of strong AI will fail because of this; humans remain something else

From the Back Cover
People assign themselves an identity. The sciences struggle to define what this is and how it comes about. However, they are certain that we have it and need it. For researchers, it is hardly tangible and therefore a tricky problem. This is where the development of strong AI will fail; humans remain something else.
The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.
This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.
