Sentience isn’t difficult to define, it’s well understood in the context of neuroscience. The question I guess is how do we measure AI pain? It’s hard to quantify the magnitude of pain in biological organisms, but we do have reliable ways to measure it. I am not convinced self-reports are a reliable way to measure AI pain. That said, even if something is sentient, higher-level consciousness is not a guarantee.
