Summary

Provides evidence that human consciousness can never be reproduced and exposes the perils of artificial intelligence

• Explains how consciousness transcends the brain and body through quantum theory and accounts of consciousness in the clinically dead

• Shares scientific evidence of how the image on the Shroud of Turin was produced and connects these findings to evidence concerning near-death experiences

• Reveals how consciousness cannot be reproduced by a machine and how attempts to do so threaten what makes us human

Stephen Hawking once said that the unanticipated consequences of artificial intelligence will be the greatest threat to humanity’s survival. In this book, Dr. Andrew Silverman reveals why the powerful consciousness of the human mind could never be manufactured and so cannot be reproduced with technology.

Integrating extensive scientific research from three seemingly unrelated fields of study--quantum mechanics, near-death experiences, and the Shroud of Turin--Silverman reveals the pitfalls and perils of artificial intelligence and addresses the fundamentally flawed thinking that underlies it. Drawing on his work as one of the leading experts on the Shroud of Turin as well as research by scientists from NASA and Los Alamos, he shows how the image on the Shroud could only have been produced by a flash of light as intense as a nuclear explosion--a burst of light that occurred after the body was in the tomb. Sharing medical evidence of consciousness in people declared clinically dead, the author shows how the light of consciousness evidenced by the Shroud is also a consistent feature of most near-death experiences.

Exploring the non-local nature of consciousness--how it transcends the physical brain and body, Silverman explains why the human mind cannot be reduced to a computer and examines what separates sentient beings from machines. He shows how getting caught up in the push for artificial intelligence and the technological quest for immortality--through the attempt to “download” our minds onto computers--will only lead us to devalue and erase what makes us unique and irreplaceable in this cold, dark universe: our humanity.

Recognized as a leading scientific expert on the Shroud of Turin, Dr. Andrew Silverman is a medical doctor with a background in physics. For over thirty years, he has been conducting research on the mind-matter continuum, near-death experiences, and the Shroud. He has presented his findings in peer-reviewed scientific papers and at international scientific conferences. He lives in Buckinghamshire, England.

Welcome to Destiny.

0:33.0

Now here's your host, Cliff Dunning.

0:38.0

We've covered a lot of ground when it comes to understanding consciousness.

0:44.0

But it appears that science doesn't actually get it and our discussion today

0:50.0

is on consciousness in the form of near-death experiences, how our consciousness transcends the body,

0:58.0

and the limitless potential of consciousness on humanity.

1:02.0

But part of the discussion today in our interview is artificial intelligence

1:07.0

and how a branch of science is working to develop supercomputers

1:13.0

that replicate human personalities, human thought, as exactly as they can get it.

1:21.0

Now the problem with that is that it isn't really a level of consciousness.

1:27.0

It's an artificial type of consciousness.

1:32.0

And the point that our guest today makes is that you cannot capture

1:39.0

and imbue a cyborg or a robot with a consciousness.

1:45.0

Now there is debate on creating a robot or a computer that's sentient.

1:53.0

In other words, it's aware of itself that can be told right and wrong.

1:59.0

This is what's going on right now, but to capture somebody's essence

and this is what some of the future thinking is,
