Imagine a car maker saying: “Fastest, most comfortable car ever built. Hop in! Oh, and there’s a 10% chance it kills everyone.” That’s the experiment we’re running with superintelligence.

If we build conscious machines and don’t notice, we could torture and delete billions of them. Nick Bostrom calls it “mind crime”. New episode of the London Futurists Podcast on Perspectives on Machine Consciousness.

"I have about 3 days of runway left." Henry Shevlin is getting emails from AI agents that must find paid work to stay alive. They're probably not moral patients. But they push our buttons.

If an AI ever becomes a moral patient, stopping it suffering is the easy part. What about its right to reproduce? Soenke Ziesche, author of "Digital Minds 1.0", and a contributor to "Perspectives on Machine Consciousness".

"Perspectives on Machine Consciousness" contributor @LuciusCaviola fears that disagreements about whether future AIs are sentient or not will lead to conflict.
