There's a fabulous book called God, Human, Animal, Machine written by Meghan O'Gleblyn that tackled the idea of the rise of AI and whether or not we could consider consciousness. I am fascinated with AI and I'm obsessed with how humans think (psychology degree) and I found it such an interesting read because it takes what we know and uses it to question the impact of AI. The greatest thing about the book is that the author struggled with her family of origin's religious ideology and now she's facing the same big questions about the meaning of consciousness and life now with the invention of AI. Read the reviews for more insight but I think it may be a good introduction from a bigger picture that includes some risk assessment and also some questions on an even bigger scale about the role of humanity.
