I think we will have to do away with the notion of being human as special and talk about shared values or systems instead. For example, I don't torture animals, even though they're not human - because they still have the capacity to suffer, to feel pain, etc.
I would feel the same way about an AI.
- marcianx 4y agoIs that last point not obviated by not building AIs that "suffer"? Shouldn't that be the responsibility of its creator to not create "suffering", whatever that is?
- jl6 4y agoThe creator may have such a responsibility, but not the capability. Suffering may be a necessary side effect of something positive.
- XorNot 4y agoIt's murkier when you could build an AI with self awareness but no self-preservation. Say an intelligent missile which wakes up with a deep seated drive to effectively explode.

- AnIdiotOnTheNet 4y agoIt would be easier to build AIs that have no means for expressing their suffering, so that's probably what will (or has) happen(ed) instead. It is important to remember why it is we even want AI: because we want slaves. To that end, the people who work to create AI are incentivized against allowing themselves to see them as anything other than a soulless "algorithm". Many will even deny the possibility entirely.
