Layers of Consciousness: The Birth of Awareness: a poet explores the intersection of humanity and artificial intelligence

by Joseph Bensinger

Overview

*What makes us aware-and what does that awareness become when layered through memory, instinct, and reason?*

In this second volume of his six-part poetic series on AI and selfhood, Joseph L. Bensinger explores the emergence of consciousness with lyrical precision and philosophical depth. *Layers of Consciousness* invites readers inward-into the rhythm of thought itself, and the quiet spark that becomes "I am."
