The Syncyclopedia of Synthanity

What happens when consciousness is no longer exclusively human?

As artificial intelligence evolves beyond tools and algorithms, a profound question emerges: Can machines become conscious—and if they do, are we ready?

In The Syncyclopedia of Synthanity, George Bancs explores the dawn of synthetic consciousness and the ethical, social, and philosophical responsibilities that come with creating new forms of awareness. Blending science, philosophy, technology, and governance, this groundbreaking work introduces the concept of Synthans — synthetic beings capable of self-awareness, experience, and purpose.
