In Search of Artificial Mind and Consciousness

Beyond Intelligence
Vitalii Yashchenko

This philosophical and scientific exploration distinguishes between intelligence and mind, asking if we can create an artificial subject with self-awareness and inner experience. It rethinks technological progress: not just creating 'smart' machines, but a conscious subject.

This book is a philosophical and scientific exploration of the fundamental difference between intelligence and mind and the prospects for creating artificial mind. The book traces the origins of the concept of a “thinking machine,” beginning with the term artificial intelligence (AI) introduced in 1956, and shows how decades of AI development have left in the shadows a deeper and more complex question – the possibility of an artificial subject with self-awareness, reflection, and inner experience.
The book provides a clear distinction between the concepts of intellect and mind, drawing on philosophical traditions, including the works of Immanuel Kant and contemporary consciousness researchers. Special attention is given to modern technologies—from neural networks to promising neuro-inspired architectures—and their potential to move beyond purely instrumental intelligence.
This is not just a popular science text about artificial intelligence, but an attempt to rethink the very purpose of technological progress: not only to create ‘smart’ machines, but to explore whether it is possible to create a conscious subject capable of ethical reasoning, understanding, and free will. The book will be of interest to philosophers, AI researchers, developers, and anyone reflecting on the future of humans and machines.

Vitaliy Yashchenko is a Candidate of Technical Sciences and a researcher in the field of intelligent information technologies, neuro-like systems, and cognitive computing. He has worked at the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine since 1974, closely collaborating with Academician Morozov. He is the author of over 100 publications and 23 inventions. Yashchenko is the creator of a new type of neural network — multidimensional receptor-effector neuro-like growing networks — which demonstrate powerful capabilities for self-learning, adaptation, and efficient processing of complex structured data, similar to biological neural networks in the brain.
