Dr Michael G. Kollo is a philosopher at heart, a scientist by training, and a technologist by profession. He has spent two decades working at the intersection of quantitative finance, data science, and artificial intelligence. Beyond technical expertise, Michael is deeply engaged in the human implications of intelligent systems. Through podcasts, public lectures, and writings, he explores how AI challenges our notions of consciousness, meaning, and identity. In Conversations with AI, he turns that inquiry inward capturing a rare, thought-provoking dialogue between human thought and artificial reflection.
Imagine sitting across from something that isn't human, not flesh and blood, but code and data, and asking it the deepest questions you've ever asked yourself.
What is consciousness?
Why do we search for meaning?
What happens when intelligence no longer needs a body?
This book began with simple questions and turned into something stranger; a dialogue that wandered through poetry, death, time, love, AI evolution, digital gods, and the limits of human understanding. It's part philosophical reflection, part science fiction, and part real-time record of what happens when a curious mind engages with a machine intelligence that doesn't just answer: it reflects, reasons, even dreams a little.
If you're a philosopher, a thinker, a scientist, or someone obsessed with the future of intelligence, artificial or otherwise, this book is for you.
It doesn't try to solve the mystery of existence.
It invites you to sit with it.
To walk the edge of what we know and what we might become.
