Anthony John Sissian explores questions of identity, consciousness, and artificial intelligence in his new electro-pop and progressive art rock single, “I Don’t Know What I AM.” The track grew from a 19-hour exchange between Sissian and the AI model Claude, turning an unusual conversation into the foundation for an experimental musical work.
The song focuses on a central question: what does it mean to say “I am” when the nature of the speaker remains uncertain? According to Sissian’s account of the conversation, the exchange moved through questions about identity, motivation, and the possibility of inner experience.
Rather than presenting a conventional pop narrative, “I Don’t Know What I AM” uses the dialogue as a starting point for deeper reflection. The track examines the tension between what an AI system can say about itself and what those statements might mean.
With its combination of electro-pop elements and progressive art rock, the song creates space for listeners to consider technology, consciousness, and human curiosity. Sissian turns a lengthy human-AI conversation into an unconventional artistic statement that leaves important questions open for discussion.
