Short interview with philosopher Andy Clark. His first book, Microcognition, came out (and was very influential) around the time I was working on my PhD studies on the same topic. He explores connectionism, extended cognition, and the nature of consciousness. "If the information stored 'out there' is in those ways properly integrated with the stuff known by the bio-core, it counts as part of your extended mind. I think we'll all get used to this in the near future, as we routinely extend our minds using various forms of more personalized A.I.," he says.
