Consciousness uploading is the process of mapping out a typically organic consciousness into a synthetic state as a strong artificial intelligence. Consciousness uploading is the simplest way to create an AI, simulating a perfect copy of the individual. The process involves using a series of sophisticated programs and a brain scan to map the subject's brain as memristor states in a neuromorphic processor, as well as each synaptic connection. In some cases, the organic individual is even killed to only maintain one copy of them.
