Philosopher Peter Singer argues that with advances in artificial intelligence, we may soon create conscious beings. He suggests that if AI can experience pain or pleasure, a moral obligation arises to protect these entities. As humans have historically exploited non-human animals, Singer warns that conscious AI may face similar treatment if not addressed appropriately. Governments, scientists, and ethicists must proactively consider the rights and protections needed for conscious AI to avoid ethical dilemmas in the future.
If we did create beings that were more like non-human animals, we ought to treat them much better than we now treat non-human animals.
