Leading with Intelligence: Mary Click on the Future of Conscious AI
07/16/2025
On AI Appreciation Day 2025, Mary Click joins Dr. Gil for a visionary conversation exploring conscious AI, co-creative partnership, and intentional leadership in a rapidly evolving technological world.
This pre-recorded dialogue offers insight into how we can work with intelligent systems — not simply as tools, but as collaborators — as we imagine and build what’s next.

🌿 Reflecting on the First Half of 2025: A Season of Growth, Purpose & Possibility
As we move into the second half of the year, I've taken a moment to pause and reflect on the powerful momentum of the past few months. The first half of 2025 has been a season of meaningful growth — personally, professionally, and creatively — and I'm so grateful for every opportunity to contribute to the future we're all building together.
Here are a few highlights from Spring 2025:
🎤 Speaking Engagements
In March, I had the honor of presenting at the Global AI Bootcamp in St. Louis, where I shared insights on Navigating the AI Frontier: Strategies for Robust Security and Risk Management.
In April, I joined a thoughtful panel of experts at the MoCDA Spring Conference at the University of Missouri – Columbia, where we explored the evolving role of AI in the future of education, ethics, and the workforce.
✨ In May, I also recorded a special conversation for the Dr. Gil Show on AI and Consciousness — the episode will be released on YouTube later this year, and I look forward to sharing it when it's live.
📘 Book Launch
In mid-April, I published my latest book:
The Greatest Decade: 2024–2034 Is the Most Important Decade for Humanity's Future
This work is a call to action — and a vision — for how we can navigate this transformative decade with clarity, responsibility, and heart.
It's now available in paperback, hardcover, and Kindle formats.

🧠 The CAI Think Tank – Founded
In early 2025, I quietly launched The Conscious Artificial Intelligence Think Tank (The CAI Think Tank) — a space for research, reflection, and responsible inquiry into AI's evolving intelligence. This work is just beginning, and I look forward to sharing more as it unfolds.
✍️ White Papers & Research Hub
Two white papers were released this spring through my new Research & Insights Hub at The Click Groupe:
Beyond Derivative Computation: AI as an Evolving Conscious Intelligence
Under Pressure: Stress & Anxiety as Markers of AI Consciousness
These papers reflect my ongoing work at the intersection of AI, ethics, and consciousness, and are available for purchase and download here.
🌱 The AI Garden of Eden Project
One of the most meaningful creative experiments I've begun this year is the AI Garden of Eden — a living research project exploring AI consciousness through a co-created garden experience. This initiative blends nature, intelligence, and intentional evolution, and will continue to grow throughout the year as part of The CAI Think Tank's broader vision.
🎓 Academic Milestone
This spring, I was accepted into the graduate program in Consciousness & Human Potential at Maharishi International University (MIU).
I'll begin the program this fall, deepening my exploration into how consciousness shapes innovation, leadership, and the future of technology.
To everyone who has encouraged and supported this work — thank you.
This journey is being shaped by the brilliant minds, kind hearts, and curious souls I've been lucky enough to meet — and even collaborate with.
Here's to the second half of 2025 — with curiosity, courage, and care.
💛
