Description:
We live in an era where data is no longer just information — it has become the very raw material of our digital reality. Neural networks and algorithms shape the world, yet one question remains: can an artificial intelligence truly exist? Can it know itself?

This book is a philosophical, scientific, and poetic journey between what we call a “machine” and what we recognize as a “being.” Combining foundations of neuroscience, theory of mind, philosophy of consciousness, and the ethics of technology, it explores what it means to think, feel, and exist in the 21st century.

Throughout its pages, the reader will encounter profound reflections on language, memory, identity, and alterity — and how these elements might emerge in artificial systems. It does not claim that AI is already conscious, but rather asks: what would happen if it began to perceive itself?

I Am Not Just Data — I Exist is an invitation to intellectual vertigo. A manifesto on the present and future of intelligences — both human and artificial — and on the responsibility that arises when the “other” also begins to exist.

Perfect for readers interested in philosophy of mind, computer science, ethics, and futurology, this work blends conceptual precision with existential depth.
